Put down the Scott Wolven anthology to “temporarily” peruse a few pages of this very, very weird account of the Manson orchestrated massacres and the U.S. military’s use of mind control experiments with LSD.
I was immediately hooked after 20 pages accusing Vincent Bugliosi of fraud and of suborning perjury.

Had to do real life crap and set this down for a few.

I only realized today that the Errol Morris documentary film on Manson available on Netflix is related to this book with the author’s assistance.
Saw the documentary- can’t recall seeing any of this stuff covered.

Hard to put this down. Although the author ends too many sections with “?”.
So far, better than average true-crime reading.

So far it’s about a journalist who investigated the effects of the Manson orchestrated mayhem on the Hollywood film and music industries for Premiere Magazine in 1999. But one line here just kills me.
The author quotes a threat made by an alleged “connected” one time smuggler:
”Dead white men will pull your tongue out if you tell this…”
Straight outta James Hadley Chase.

I found a copy of this book last year and am looking forward to reading it. Interested in learning what you think of it when you're finished.

Interesting, Kurt. I always distrusted Bugliosi’s account and his showboating. I preferred Ed Sanders’ mind blowing The Family. Also have Susan Atkins’ autobiography but after 17 years, I still haven’t read a page of it.
