Summary: mansons own words???
Comment: This book claims it is Charles Mansons real story although the author also says that the final decision about was included was his not Mansons.However it does in greater depth what the other books do not.It looks at his early formative years and how Mansons personality developed.There are many people out there some of them ex "family" mambers, who still support the idea that he was a charismatic leader and innocent of all charges. This book shows clearly that he was not only involved in planning the murders but that he actively killed several people himself thus dispelling the myth of the martyr once and for all. It is also another signpost for society, who will once again ignore it, that if you brutilise children and sanction institutionalised abuse then sooner or later they will come back to haunt you.If you have read the more sensationalised accounts of the murders this book is a more balanced account although leaving the murders to the last section and possibly minimising them somewhat. The most telling sentence for me and one to send a chill up all your spines is where Manson says," I can't clear anything up on Shea without being a snitch but I will say......someplace out there in that society he (the DA) protects so well, he has left several killers to prowl the streets.

Summary: an up-close account of a disturbed and fascinating man
Comment: This book began with the childhood of Manson and the numerous institutions he's been in and out of throughout his life. It eliminates hype and sheds light on the truth of the madman behind the mask and gives a personal account of how experiences led him in and out of institutions for the duration of his life.
