| Notes | " At the core of Krakauer's book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment of God to kill a blameless mother and her baby-girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this apalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multilayered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he discovers a shadowy offshoot of America's fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief. " |
