Bugliosi is a great prosecutor and a great author. His writing brought this case alive for me, as I wasn't around when it happened. I've always wondered about Manson's appeal to "The Family" and although I still don't quite see it, Bugloisi's fact-loaded count made it all come back to life for me. Surely there are other true crimes out there with a more modern appeal for this generation, but this classic should be read by anyone that is interested in them. It is, after all, the #1 BestSelling True Crime book ever!
