Without Conscience

by Nuel Emmons

Without Conscience tells Manson's extraordinary story in hiw own words. From his birth during the Depression to an unmarried sixteen year old, to a childhood in juvenile homes and an adolescence in prison - to the California of the late 1960's. Where Charles Manson discovered that his anti-establishment values were not only approved but won him followers.

Distilled from seven years of interviews this shockingly powerful book gives Manson's surprisingly lucid account of his life and the bizarre helter skelter world of the messianic late 1960's drug culture.

[Tracey Alley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nuel Emmons did a brilliant job of crafting this work but I found Manson's words and thoughts to be chilling, depressing, shocking and ultimately depraved.

I can't really say I would recommend this book because it tends to linger in your mind for a long, long time and it's a genuine, real life horror story. Well written but deeply disturbing.
