Product Description
Review
"Compulsively readable... Manson can't ever succeed in being paroled out of that cell, not as long as people with any sense at all can read this book" --William S. Burroughs
"Gives us a portrait close to the truth" --New York Times Book Review
"The book finally diminishes the Manson mystique. For that, credit goes to co-author Nuel Emmons, [who] gives Manson room to reveal himself without voodoo hype. The result is an explanation of Manson's crimes that, for the first time, feels convincing." --San Francisco Bay Guardian

Format:Paperback
This book claims it is Charles Mansons real story although the author also says that the final decision about was included was his not Mansons.However it does in greater depth what the other books do not.It looks at his early formative years and how Mansons personality developed.There are many people out there some of them ex "family" mambers, who still support the idea that he was a charismatic leader and innocent of all charges. This book shows clearly that he was not only involved in planning the murders but that he actively killed several people himself thus dispelling the myth of the martyr once and for all. It is also another signpost for society, who will once again ignore it, that if you brutilise children and sanction institutionalised abuse then sooner or later they will come back to haunt you.If you have read the more sensationalised accounts of the murders this book is a more balanced account although leaving the murders to the last section and possibly minimising them somewhat. The most telling sentence for me and one to send a chill up all your spines is where Manson says," I can't clear anything up on Shea without being a snitch but I will say......someplace out there in that society he (the DA) protects so well, he has left several killers to prowl the streets.

Format:Paperback
This book began with the childhood of Manson and the numerous institutions he's been in and out of throughout his life. It eliminates hype and sheds light on the truth of the madman behind the mask and gives a personal account of how experiences led him in and out of institutions for the duration of his life.

When will people stop elevating this pathetic little madman onto some sort of serial-kiler super-celebrity pedestal ? He was in part responsible for those now infamous murders but this pathetic excuse for a human being should have been left to rot and not been given any further opportunity or platform to air his warped bullshine. He revels in the attention and notoriety those murders gave him he has continued to mould himself into some sort of anti-establishment guru when in act he was/is a criminal with severe mental health issues who should have been silenced since his incarceration instead of being sought out for interviews, quotes and reasons as to why he and his hangers-on did what they did. The real danger here is giving him any type of attention which has garnered him thousands of "fans".
I suppose it is small comfort that he, unlike his jailed cohorts did not "find Jesus" which of course wipes out the horror of what they did.
Leave this runt of a man to bleat his tripe to his prison walls instead of giving him the attention/fame he so pathetically craves.
