3.0

A 10 part series of vignette-like accounts detailing the rise to power (and ultimate demise) of cults and their leaders is what makes up the book "Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People who Joined Them" written by Max Cutler with Kevin Conley. Cutler runs an acclaimed podcast titled 'Cults' and selected these ten of the most famous to the most obscure cults to try and explain how they came about and why. From The Manson Family Murders to a mysterious Ugandan group named 'The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God's' , Cutler gives intriguing and well researched accounts of what happened in the minds of the leaders and the dangerous repercussions of what they led their devotees to do.
