The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple by Jeff Guinn

5.0

This book takes me into the minds of the followers of Jim Jones and really helps me understand the seemingly unanswerable question of how Jonestown happened? The book reads more like a novel rather than non-fiction, which I enjoyed and does a really good job of laying out the entire progression of Jim Jones's life. You can understand his progression from a man genuinely committed to socialist ideals and integration into the monster he is remembered for. Well written, and a book I will continue to recommend.
