An examination of the 1978 Jonestown mass suicide, detailing the Peoples Temple’s final days in Guyana and the events leading to the deaths of over 900 followers.

A factual study of the people, politics, and social currents that allowed Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple to thrive in California and Guyana, culminating in the 1978 Jonestown mass suicide.

Although the Nuba of Kau - anthropologists call them the "South East Nuba" - live little more than 100 miles from the gentle and peace-loving Mesakin, they speak a different language and observe different customs and conventions. A wild and passionate people, they are diametrically opposed to the Mesakin in character and temperament. Their knife-fights, dances of love and elaborately painted faces and bodies, which resemble "living Picassos", are unequalled by any surviving primitive race on earth. Leni Riefenstahl does not claim to have captured their entire way of life in this book. Rather, she has concentrated on photographing what distinguishes the South East Nuba from other tribes of her acquaintance. Leni Riefenstahl's unforgettable photographic impressions of the life of the People of Kau bear final witness to a primitive tribe which is menaced by the advance of industrial civilization and slowly subsiding into the mists of time.

Inevitably, the Jonestown tragedy ended in 1978, but its survivors keep living with its fallout: Leigh Fondakowski’s book, built on years of interviewing, reveals how former members of Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple processed grief, trauma, and resilience.

Set in the two months before the 1978 Jonestown tragedy, a father's desperate flashback to the Peoples Temple’s grim grip on Guyana drives him to plan a rescue for his captive son.
