"Jonestown-even now, the name is chilling shorthand for the largest murder-suicide in American history. But what led to the horrifying events of November 1978, when nine hundred people-including nearly three hundred infants and children-died after being ordered to swallow a cyanide-laced drink? The Road to Jonestown is the definitive account of Jim Jones and the tragic events at Jonestown, based on newly released documents and new interviews with survivors, some of whom had never spoken publicly before. In this riveting narrative, bestselling author Jeff Guinn examines Jones's life, showing how he attracted his large congregations. Guinn provides stunning new details of the events leading to the fatal day when so many of his followers not only died for him but killed for him" -- Page 4 of cover
