À propos de cette écoute

The basis for the upcoming HBO miniseries and the "definitive account of the Jonestown massacre" (Rolling Stone).

Tim Reiterman's Raven provides the seminal history of the Rev. Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple, and the murderous ordeal at Jonestown in 1978.

This PEN Award-winning work explores the ideals gone wrong, the intrigue, and the grim realities behind the Peoples Temple and its implosion in the jungle of South America. Reiterman's reportage clarifies enduring misperceptions of the character and motives of Jim Jones, the reasons why people followed him, and the important truth that many of those who perished at Jonestown were victims of mass murder rather than suicide.

This widely sought work is restored to print after many years with a new preface by the author.

    “The definitive account of the Jonestown massacre; Reiterman was among a group of journalists, concerned relatives and congressional aides to accompany Congressman Leo Ryan on the ill-fated journey to Guyana to survey Jonestown.” (Rolling Stone)

    “The seminal book on the story of Jonestown.” (Associated Press)

    “Unquestionably emerges as the most valuable book on Jonestown to date.... Every piece of the puzzle is here.” (David Evanier, National Review)

    Gripping subject, told by those who lived it. The reader is OK, but it seems like he uses an "evil" tone to voice Jones from the get go, making it hard to relate. At times it is hard to keep track of all the names and personalities going back and forth.

    The book drags a bit specially towards the last year of events.
    Nonetheless this is a worthwhile and must listen to try and understand how this could possibly come to be.

    those who forget the past are condemned...
