In this podcast, we will discuss his newest book, Peace, Love, and Murder: The Charles Manson Story. He explores how Manson could only have thrived in the unique atmosphere of 1960s San Francisco and Los Angeles—a turbulent backdrop of war protests, psychedelic experimentation, and a generation desperate for change. Alongside this cultural portrait, the book provides rare insight into the backgrounds of each member of the so-called “Family,” showing how their vulnerabilities and desires made them susceptible to Manson’s influence.
