charstory 's review for:
Under the Banner of Heaven
by Jon Krakauer
A favorite author (Into Thin Air, Into the Wild), I expected great things from this book and got them. Thoroughly researched, a close examination of the Mormon/LDS cult history as it ties into the hysterical, fanatical Fundamental LDS, with its inherent and systemic violence against women and children. Worth the read. If you are not familiar with Mormonism, it will be eye-opening and disturbing. As one who grew up around the RLDS church (Independence, MO based splinter group), I learned the truth of the LDS cult and many of its iterations early on. Published 1/1/04, many updates have taken place, most notably in prosecutions of several of the men noted in the book.
