Review:

"'Helter Skelter', the perennial true crime best-seller, is a peculiarly satisfying hybrid of the [true crime] genre....Vincent Bugliosi, the legendary Los Angeles district attorney who convicted Charles Manson, tells his own story with an unaffected swagger and treats what he did not see with scrupulous care. The result is a very deft fusion of solid storytelling and prosecutorial ire....Bugliosi aggrandized a savage con man into the arch-conspirator of the age; Manson, naturally, admired him in return. The author deserves thanks for insuring that Manson will undoubtedly never leave jail, but the book that maintains his infamy also maintains his fame."
