Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

This book made me sad. I struggle with organized religion in many ways, but stories of how it can be used to warp minds and lead people in the wrong direction are particularly hard to read. On the flip side, I find cults endlessly fascinating and while the LDS church is not generally categorized as a cult, the characters here had a lot of interaction with the Fundamentalist LDS (FLDS) church, which usually is.
