DEATH IN THE JUNGLE
How could the power of love be twisted into the love of power?

Rev. Jim Jones was a charismatic leader deeply involved in the search for social justice. The Peoples Temple he founded helped the sick, the needy and the helpless. Then something happened... Now, the incredible saga of corruption and evil behind the sensational events in Guyana is told by a team of San Francisco Chronicle reporters uniquely qualified to reveal the inside story. The writers are Marshall Kilduff, who has been investigating Rev. Jones and the Peoples Temple for over two years, and Ron Javers, ambush witness and victim. Now they explain, for the first time, how the mysterious cult grew and prospered, how Rev. Jones acquired wealth and political clout and how the path to Guyana in search of utopia ended in massacre, mass suicide - total disaster.
