About this product
Product Information
A journalist's twenty-year fascination with the Manson murders leads to "gobsmacking" (The Ringer) new revelations about the FBI's involvement in this "kaleidoscopic" (The New York Times) reassessment of an infamous case in American history. Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order -- their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of the sixties. Manson became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia -- or dystopia -- was just an acid trip away. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents. When a tense interview with Vincent Bugliosi -- prosecutor of the Manson Family and author of Helter Skelter -- turned a friendly source into a nemesis, O'Neill knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought more questions: Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties? Why didn't law enforcement, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him? And how did Manson -- an illiterate ex-con -- turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers? O'Neill's quest for the truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from San Francisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and suspicious coincidences. The product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, Chaos mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. This is a book that overturns our understanding of a pivotal time in American history.

Reviews
"O'Neill's discoveries are stunning, especially when he's discussing the inexplicable leniency shown by law enforcement officials and by Manson's parole officer." -- The Washington Post, "Top-notchinvestigative work ... An excellent work of investigative journalism proving the'true story' is not always the truth."-- Library Journal, "Gripping masterfulstuff. A dazzling and compellingly obsessed journalistic detective story thatinvites you down the rabbit-hole to a sex, drugs, and celebrity-serial-killerAmerica. O'Neill's sunk decades into uncovering something far freakier than Helter Skelter ever admitted. Buckle up kids, this is true crime at itstruest and most compelling."-- Charles Graeber, Executive Producer of The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann and New York Times bestselling author of The Good Nurse, "What if everything we thought we knew about the Manson murders was wrong? O'Neill spent 20 years wrestling with that question, and Chaos is his final answer. Timed to the 50th anniversary of the Manson murders, it's a sweeping indictment of the Los Angeles justice system, with cover-ups reaching all the way up to the FBI and CIA."-- Entertainment Weekly, "Top-notch investigative work ... An excellent work of investigative journalism proving the 'true story' is not always the truth."-- Library Journal, "O'Neill's skillful accumulation of facts, untainted by bluffery, is a victory for honest discourse ... The discoveries that O'Neill has shared with the world-about lies, suppressions, and conflicts of interest-should scare the hell out of us." -- Sean Howe, Bookforum, " Chaos is less a definitive account of the murders than a kaleidoscope swirl of weird discoveries and mind-bending hypotheticals that reads like Raymond Chandler after a tab of windowpane."-- The New York Times, "Gripping masterful stuff.

If your friends call you paranoid, maybe they're just ignorant."-- Joe Ide, author of IQ and Wrecked, "Whatever you think you know about the Manson murders iswrong. Just flat out wrong.

Condition is like new, but was posted in a soft satchel for international post. Arrived with hard dents and dings in spine. Not good. Not the sellers fault, but not to credit a lack of package care either. Post was cheap and it evidently means I don't get a like new condition item. Not ideal at all. 6/10

I'm disappointed with this transaction. I chose this listing for the book due to its quicker estimated shipping time, but it arrived almost two weeks later than what was estimated on the listing. While I understand shipping delays can happen and can be beyond a sellers control, the seller opted for the slowest and cheapest shipping method. The main frustration however, and the reason for neutral feedback was that the item was poorly packaged, resulting in damage during shipment.
