With the same riveting detail and unmatched investigative reporting that made Jeff Guinn's book on serial killer and cult leader Charles Manson an acclaimed national bestseller, The Road To Jonestown sheds new light on a subject we thought we knew: Jim Jones, the man responsible for the deaths of more than nine hundred people at Jonestown in Guyana. Drawing on a host of new, often exclusive interviews and sources, Guinn delivers the most authoritative and comprehensive account yet of one of the most notorious figures in American history and answers the question, how could this tragedy have happened?
