i read this book a few years ago at mesa, az. city library, and was so blown away. the simple fact that a book revealing all the dirty little secrets of the LDS somehow made it into a library in a morman stronghold like mesa, was so ironic it made me chuckle. i talked to a few of my friends about this book,(some of which were mormons) and in a few weeks you could not find this book in any library or bookstore in mesa. surprized ? im not!

Don't read this book if you are looking for the things mentioned by the reader Jared. Read this book to find out what drove Mark Hoffman to do the terrible things he did. Find out about the greed of an evil man and to what lengths he would go to accomplish his designs. See how he not only forged historical documents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but how he also took on the National Library and collectors of antiquity all over the country.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Despite the comments of previous reviewer's, this account of the Hofmann case is one of the most Mormon sympathetic. It has real value in that it does a good job of getting into the thought processes of Hofmann and other Mormons around him including his girlfriend before he got married, which is a story that Sillitoe is strangely sympathetic to Hofmann compared to the account given by Naifeh who used a phony name for her. The book studiously avoids the role that Hinckly played, and avoids the odd behaviour of the County Attornies office in relation to Hinckly.
The book has the advantage of having George Throckmorton as a co-author as he was one of the "heroes" of the case.
I've read this book and the Naifeh book and several websites for sources about the Hofmann case and this book is for the Mormon perspective. It should be complemented by the Naifeh book which is written from the police perspective.
