Helter Skelter
Vincent Bugliosi • 1974
Devastation Rating
true crime cult murder 1960s
Our Take
Bugliosi prosecuted Manson and wrote the definitive account of the murders that ended the 1960s. The detail is exhaustive — crime scenes, trial transcripts, the mechanics of cult psychology. What stays is not the violence but the randomness.
