Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson by Jeff Guinn
4.0
It's strange how much Charles Manson's actions and thought processes remind me of someone I've known well throughout my life. No names or further description will be given but it is a bit eerie.
This book is well-researched. I learned that Charlie developed his weirdly charismatic ways from reading Dale Carnegie's How to Gain Friends and Influence People and from studying Scientology techniques. He was a very calculating person, not at all the insane hippie I saw Geraldo Rivera interview on his show.
I've lived in both San Francisco and Los Angeles and I can't say that I 100% agree with all of Jeff Guinn's descriptions of the two cities. I do think he was fair and captured the 1960's well.
