Cults have been around for as long as organised religion has existed, offering the vulnerable a solution to life's great unanswerable questions. From charismatic leaders with nefarious intent, to misguided devotees to an alternative theory of the universe, The Cult Files compendium of compelling cults includes:
*The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God
*Rech Theriaultand and his brood of twenty-six children
*The tragic mass suicide by the followers of the People's Temple
*The deadly siege at Waco, Texas
The Cult Files examines how leaders such as Jim Jones manage to exert total control over their followers and how charisma can convince people to separate from their families, donate their worldly goods, and even end their lives in brutal circumstances. Contemporary photos help set the scene and introduce you to the key figures from the world of cults.
