People's Temple, people's tomb

About this book

**"I Told Washington, DC of the Impending Suicides..."** Phil Kerns, former Jones cultist, relives his desperation: "When the news bulletin announced the death of Congressman Ryan, I immediately called officials in Washington... but no one believed me... my mother and my sister were among the victims in Guyana." Kerns reveals heretofore *secret truths* about People's Temple. The original material presented here comes from the author's six-year investigation of Jim Jones, an attempt to bring indictments against the cult leader for the murder of a friend. Exclusive interviews with Jones's inner circle give the behind-the-scenes story of the murder-suicides. *People's Temple, People's Tomb* follows Phil Kerns as he begins his search for God, becomes disillusioned with Jim Jones and finally discovers the true meaning of spiritual rebirth. Doug Wead, the co-author, has written eleven books. His recent best seller in twelve languages - *Tonight They'll Kill A Catholic* - is a report on Northern Ireland.
