There's a great documentary on him, too called "Jonestown:Life and Death of Peoples Temple."
shareEXCELLENT book! I went on a Jim Jones kick a few years ago and read about 5 books on him. He was a maniac indeed!
Guinn also did a great job on Charles Manson.
Another Jim Jones book you should read is Raven. https://www.amazon.ca/Raven-Untold-Story-Jones-People/dp/1585426784/ref=pd_sbs_14_3/132-0529732-6724435?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1585426784&pd_rd_r=01d6c1b8-9cb5-4a3a-aaf8-1f5d808d41bc&pd_rd_w=vfgMF&pd_rd_wg=cvBc6&pf_rd_p=74b54c94-7195-4620-ba51-7d167ac58a58&pf_rd_r=RWKNQGSCN6MZR58R5BYS&psc=1&refRID=RWKNQGSCN6MZR58R5BYS
There was supposed to be an HBO drama series on Jonestown. They announced it a few years ago. Hope it didn't get pulled.
Is this HBO? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8014232/
shareI've been meaning to read the Bonnie and Clyde book by him. He's a very good author!
I think that one Satan2016 linked is a documentary. The one I heard about was supposed to be a dramatic adaption. I saw the one with Powers Boothe from the early 80s. I hope they are still working on the new one.
Update: Here's the IMDB page. Looks like its still a go! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4337196/
Also if you want your blood chilled, listen to this 47-second clip from one of Jones' sermons shortly before the mass-suicide. I have NEVER heard anything as terrifying and disturbing from a human mouth as the portion from 30 seconds onward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UovN6B8yTEA
