Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith

This is the first time I've really learned anything about Mormanism... and damn. This book gives a really good history of Mormanism and its creation while telling the stories of the people involved in the religion. I like how Karkauer does extensive interviewing for his books, and it really shows in this one. Also interesting to read with so much media content about Mormanism popping up right now.
