À propos de cet audio

A journalist's 20-year fascination with the Manson murders leads to shocking new revelations about the FBI's involvement in this riveting reassessment of an infamous case in American history.

Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order - their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of the 60s. Manson became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia - or dystopia - was just an acid trip away.

Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents. When a tense interview with Vincent Bugliosi - prosecutor of the Manson Family, and author of Helter Skelter - turned a friendly source into a nemesis, O'Neill knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought more questions:

  • Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties?
  • Why didn't law enforcement, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him?
  • And how did Manson-an illiterate ex-con-turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers?

O'Neill's quest for the truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from San Francisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and suspicious coincidences. The product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, CHAOS mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. This is a book that overturns our understanding of a pivotal time in American history.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"What if everything we thought we knew about the Manson murders was wrong? O'Neill spent 20 years wrestling with that question, and Chaos is his final answer. Timed to the 50th anniversary of the Manson murders, it's a sweeping indictment of the Los Angeles justice system, with cover-ups reaching all the way up to the FBI and CIA." (Entertainment Weekly)

"Chaos is less a definitive account of the murders than a kaleidoscope swirl of weird discoveries and mind-bending hypotheticals that reads like Raymond Chandler after a tab of windowpane." (The New York Times)

"O'Neill's discoveries are stunning, especially when he's discussing the inexplicable leniency shown by law enforcement officials and by Manson's parole officer." (The Washington Post)

So much conspiracy, so much corruption, when will the system acknowledge the truth and actually get it right

Relentless pursuit of the truth

Very insightful, does a great job of poking holes in what was the crime of a century.

This book isn’t meant to tell you “this is how it really went” rather, an in depth analysis of all the funny business that seemingly got swept under the rug.

Great Listen! Dont expect any definitive endings.

Wow! I can't believe that this kind of mind controlling technology has existed and been used since the 60's. I can only imagine how much more advanced this technology has become now. If I hadn't come across this book due to my interest in Charles Manson and his case, I never would have believed most of the things about mind control that were happening. The reality is that our government bodies have known for a long time, how to manipulate us and even implant false memories into our minds and to get us to act on those false memories! In some sense, Manson and his family were like lab rats, but they were also used as a tool to end government resistance. This is still happening NOW. I highly recommend looking into Harley Pasternak and his ties to these kinds of programs and his affiliations with Hollywood celebrities.

So mind blowing, I'm going to read again.

O’Neill’s book is a heady trip back to the era of Manson and the many people connected both directly and indirectly. It’s a mind-boggling rabbit hole of facts and speculation. The further one reads the more one feels enmeshed in an endless maze. Even the author expresses such futility numerous times. The reader is left with a multitude of disturbing loose ends and mysterious subplots void of closure. Intriguing yet unfulfilling. What a way to spend 20 years of your life!

Tom puts innear 30 years of research to one of the most suspicious crimes. although it leads to a redacted dead end, the journey there is captivating.

A massive amount of new information around the Manson murders. Highly recommend. I think there needs to be an official inquiry based on this information.

Fascinating and disturbing
