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

3.0

Bought the Audible version for a road trip. Probably would have enjoyed reading the book more than listening to it. There were parts where I found it difficult to pay attention. Overall, I thought the story was very well written and researched. There were a lot of details that I had never heard or were not familiar with that were revealed during the course of the story. I'd be curious to read more articles that looked at the intersections of systemic racism and oppression during this era and how those factors also played a role in encouraging membership, the move to Guyana and the deaths.
