From a master of narrative nonfiction comes a chilling chronicle of one of the most notorious cults in American history. Using riveting first–person accounts, award–winning author Candace Fleming reveals the makings of a monster: from Jones’s humble origins as a child of the Depression… to his founding of a group whose idealistic promises of equality and justice attracted thousands of followers… to his relocation of Temple headquarters from California to an unsettled territory in Guyana, South America, which he dubbed "Jonestown”… to his transformation of Peoples Temple into a nefarious experiment in mind–control. And Fleming heart–stoppingly depicts Jones’s final act, persuading his followers to swallow fatal doses of cyanide—to “drink the kool–aid,” as it became known—as a test of their ultimate devotion. Here is a sweeping story that traces, step by step, the ways in which one man slowly indoctrinated, then murdered, 900 innocent, well– meaning people. And how a few members, Jones' own son included, stood up to him... but not before it was too late. This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with sources and a bibliography. — ABOUT THE AUTHOR Candace Fleming is the prolific and versatile award–winning author of many books for children and young adults.
