In the summer of 1969, in Los Angeles, a series of brutal, seemingly random murders captured headlines across America. A famous actress (and her unborn child), an heiress to a coffee fortune, a supermarket owner and his wife were among the seven victims. A thin trail of circumstances eventually tied the Tate-LeBianca murders to Charles Manson, a would-be pop singer of small talent living in the desert with his "family" of devoted young women and men. What was his hold over them? And what was the motivation behind such savagery? In the public imagination, over time, the case assumed the proportions of myth. The murders marked the end of the sixties and became an immediate symbol of the dark underside of that era. Vincent Bugliosi was the prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial, and this book is his enthralling account of how he built his case from what a defense attorney dismissed as only "two fingerprints and Vince Bugliosi." The meticulous detective work with which the story begins, the prosecutor's view of a complex murder trial, the reconstruction of the philosophy Manson inculcated in his fervent followers...these elements make for a true crime classic. Helter Skelter is not merely a spellbinding murder case and courtroom drama but also, in the words of The New Republic, a "social document of rare importance."

Timeless Intensity.
Vincent Bugliosi tells this dark story of murder and deception better than anyone. Being so close to the case, and involved in the prosecution of one of America's most talked about murdr cases of all time, gives him insight into the madness that is Charles Manson that can't be manufactured by other crime writers. This story is laid out detail by horrifying detail from the eyes of those involved with trying to get justice for the victims. The whole process of bringing the killers into the justice system and trying to pass judgement on a crime that most people couldn't even imagine let alone try to understand is fascinating in it's attention to detail. Looking at how Bugliosi and hia team make their case so strongly in what was the most publicized trial of all time back then, makes me understand Bugliosi's blistering criticism of the prosecution in the O.J. Simpson trial.
