Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi

4.0

Vincent Bugliosi is, without a doubt, the kind of mind you want in charge of prosecuting criminals: brilliant, detail-oriented, surprised by nothing, always prepared, meticulous and fair-minded. I didn't know much about the details of this case other than Manson's notoriety, so I was unprepared for the details I read here. This is a dense and immense book. Well-written and exceedingly disturbing. He does a good job of balancing the facts of the case with the surrealism of the details.
