Overview

The Summer of Love promised peace, freedom, and rebellion against the old ways-but hidden beneath the haze of music, drugs, and counterculture was a darkness waiting to explode. In Peace, Love, and Murder: The Charles Manson Story, bestselling true crime author Alan R. Warren pulls back the curtain on one of the most notorious figures in American history. More than just another retelling of the Tate-LaBianca murders, this book reveals never-before-told details about Manson, his twisted ideology, and the people who followed him. Warren explores how Manson could only have thrived in the unique atmosphere of 1960s San Francisco and Los Angeles-a turbulent backdrop of war protests, psychedelic experimentation, and a generation desperate for change. Alongside this cultural portrait, the book provides rare insight into the backgrounds of each member of the so-called ""Family,"" showing how their vulnerabilities and desires made them susceptible to Manson's influence. Chilling, thought-provoking, and meticulously researched, Peace, Love, and Murder goes beyond the headlines to ask the deeper question: how could a movement rooted in peace and love give rise to such horrific violence? Shorter versions; Peace and love turned to blood and fear. Alan R. Warren uncovers never-before-told truths about Charles Manson, his followers, and why only the counterculture chaos of 1960s California could have birthed such horror.
