Charles Manson's name is synonymous with evil
itself. Almost forty years after the Tate-LaBianca murders,
history's most infamous criminal still inspires fascination and
fear. But Manson himself never killed anyone. Instead, he
convinced young, middle-class men and women to commit
unthinkable acts of violence. Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael
Stone speaks with two of Manson's followers to gain insight into
his power: Catherine Share, known in the family as "gypsy," and
Barbara Hoyt, a follower who nearly became Manson's next victim.
Vincent Bugliosi, the man who put Manson and his most devoted
followers behind bars, retraces his investigation into Manson
and his motives. With his scale of evil, Dr. Stone investigates
what gave Manson his incredible powers of manipulation . . . and
why his name still generates such fear. |
