À propos de cet audio

American-based foreign correspondent Ivor Davis delivers a gripping "I was there" eyewitness, inside story about the most notorious murder spree of the 20th century.

In Manson Exposed: A Reporter's 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder, Davis is the brutally honest guide to this true crime horror story.

In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and investigative journalism, Davis delivers a truly original take on the byzantine case that terrified and mesmerized the nation, including his new conclusion that the Beatles didn't make them do it.

Davis was on the front lines of the story and offers vivid, personal accounts, interviews, and hitherto unknown details from the very beginning right up to the death of the blue collar psycho named Charles Manson.

He charts the tragic inside stories not only of the those murdered but of the long list of collateral damage victims: the rock star, the Oscar-winning director, and the entertainment legends whose lives were also destroyed by Charles Manson and his crackpot acolytes.

This Ivor Davis book explores information that's really *tangential* to the Manson Family trial. You are best served reading Bugliosi's 'Helter Skelter' or other works for the nuts & bolts of the case.. but this book reveals such information as behind-the-scenes conflict among legal teams, fears & views among celebrities and media figures during the investigation/trial, and elaborations on figures like Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson and disgraced director Roman Polanski - both related to the Tate-LaBianca crimes and beyond.
The book is eye-opening and adds rich color to - imo - the Crime of the Century.

As to presentation: Reader Matthew Waterson delivers an annoyingly staccato narration.. but his British-accented narration is nonetheless "above-average". I would listen to more from Mr. Waterson any day.

Altogether, I rate 'Manson Exposed: A Reporter's 50-year Journey Into Madness and Murder' 7.5 stars out of 10. I don't recommend the book as your first introduction to the August 1969 crimes.. but it's a most enjoyable companion work that establishes enough context to put readers in Los Angeles at that time. Even after the audiobook leaves the 'Plus' menu, you wouldn't be crazy to spend the Credit.

[Incidentally: It's nice to have my impression confirmed that ADA Vincent Bugliosi is competent but an arrogant a$$hole]
