A review by knunderb
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon Krakauer

challenging dark informative medium-paced

4.5

Krakaur has some clear bias against religion, but he keeps it in check and provides an in-depth account of not only the murders of Brenda and Erica Lafferty, but also of the history of the Mormon church. This book could have been extremely dry, but it was easy to read. Krakaur does a good job of drawing the reader into the story.
