Book Review: Comprehensive, well researched, humane and fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
Ed Sanders was a leading 60s counter-culture figure himself, singing with The Fugs and involved with the Diggers and the Chicago 7. He became involved with the Manson case shortly before the trial commenced, and interviewed many members of the Family and their associates - even went on a rather scarey camping trip with Clem. He presents an extensive and fascinating portrait of the Family, picking up on various leads that the Bugliosi book neglects, such as the evidence of an international network of Satanist groups, of which the Family formed a part, and casting some doubt on the truth of the "helter skelter" motive for the Tate-La Bianca murders. The book was recently updated, with an interesting "where are they now" section.My only quibbles - I found the slightly hippyish style a bit annoying to start off with, but warmed to it as the book progessed - you just can't help liking Sanders. Also in my edition the pages keep falling out, which is a bit annoying for an expensive large format paperback.
