Summary

What really goes on inside cults? More specifically, what goes on inside the minds of cult leaders and the people who join them? Cutler and Conley examine the lives of some of the most disreputable cult figures and tell the stories of their rise to power-- and fall from grace, sanity, and decency. The result is an unflinching look at what happens when the most vulnerable recesses of the mind are manipulated and how the things we hold most sacred can be twisted into extreme acts of malevolence. -- adapted from jacket
