Drinking the Kool-Aid: Jim Jones and His Crazy Suicidal Revolution

by Ignacio Esteban

On November 18th, 1978, over nine hundred cult followers of Jim Jones were killed or committed forced suicide at a remote settlement called “Jonestown” in the country of Guyana in South America. Almost all the victims died from cyanide poisoning and according to reports others were injected against their will. The term “Drinking the Kool-Aid” was coined after the mass-murder led by the fanatical Jim Jones who allegedly also ordered the murder of U.S. Congressmen Leo Ryan and other journalists who were there to investigate the alleged abuses at the settlement. This would be the worst cult mass-murder in U.S. history.
This is the life of Jim Jones from cult leader to mass murder the likes the world had never seen. The tragedy of Jonestown and his perverse suicidal revolution.

Horrific massacre

I still remember the news on TV when this all happened.
I’m glad I read this book , it gave me more details of this horrific event that I was not aware of.
Very well researched.
