Synopsis
A chilling insight into cults and their leaders worldwide. From Charles Manson's 'family' of the late 1960s to the horrific Ten Commandments of God Killings in Uganda in March 2000, seemingly deluded and brainwashed followers of cults and their megalomaniac leaders have been responsible for many of history's most shocking killings. Jack Sargeant has compiled twelve essays featuring cults about whom very little has previously been written, such as the Russian castration sect and the Japanese Aum doomsday cult that leaked sarin gas into Tokoyo's subways.
