Publisher's Summary
For 50 years the legendary Manson Family Murders have fascinated and mortified all. No one could understand why such brutal acts of cold-blooded murder could have taken place in Hollywood and that women played a key role.
James Buddy Day is the last author to have interviewed Charles Manson to get his perspective on what the prosecution and his conviction for murder was when he was 40 miles away when both acts were committed. With over eight hours of interviews with Manson you get an in-depth perspective on who really was Charles Manson the most famous convicted mass murderer of all time. Did he stand for anything or was he just a cold and heartless person who had spent his entire life in the prison system? The answers will shock you.
This audiobook will appeal to listeners searching for facts and truths about the most iconic mass murder of the 20th century. You will get to know Manson through the pages of Day’s book.
Critic Reviews
"True crime documentarian Buddy Day was eating chicken wings in a noisy restaurant when his mobile phone rang. Charles Manson was calling. That quick conversation with the notorious murderer led to a year's worth of phone calls between Manson and Day, an award-winning film, and now Day's book, Hippie Cult Leader: The Last Words of Charles Manson. Through hours of conversation with Manson, Manson Family members and their attorneys, friends, and Manson prosecutor Stephen Kay, as well as in-depth study of trial transcripts, police records, and media coverage, Day applies rational thinking to insane acts to create an alternative motive behind the horrific murders of Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Steven Parent, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. The result is an intriguing and thought-provoking read. (Suzy Spencer, New York Times best-selling author)
