Murder, Betrayal, and the Lost Dream of Jonestown

By Candace Fleming

So far, I love this book but can only read about 25 pages at a time before I get so upset. Like Fleming wrote, he was a racist anti-racist. So there are parts of him that read as really valuable. But he's also a terrible, racist, sexist, megalomaniac. I think I'll switch to audiobook because I struggle to turn the pages when I keep getting so angry. A great and terrible book, this.
