Title: An Inside Story
Product review: Jim Jones onetime "daughter" tells her inside story of People's Temple. She tells of the chaos, the shams, and the doctrine. I learned a lot, in the gripping short story (about 154 pp.)Basically, Jim Jones created a micro-communist society, and got so puffed up, he believed he was God.This woman was involved in it, but got out before they left to Guyana. She does a good job at telling a fascinating story, but I felt she left out the explanation about how they ended up in Guyana, and their reasoning for having a mass suicide. But then, she didn't have a first hand account of the final days. So for that side of the story, I will have to go to another book.She does write about some of the bizarre events and doctrine that were taught, and her relationship with the Jones.'
