A fascinating interview. I have long been interested in Jonestown* and many other cultic movements throughout history, and this really caught my eye. I especially appreciated Annie’s insights about how cults attract some people. The forces and pressures that lead to people’s joining them seem obvious, but unfortunately they are poorly recognized or at least tend not to be addressed and countered. I am about to add the book to my Nook e-reader library. * I even knew the drink was Flavor Aid, not Kool-Aid.

I believe you know more than most, John! It's hard not to be interested in cults. We often cannot understand what drives the human spirit to follow blindly in the path of professed prophets, even to the point of being complicit in murder and suicide. Thank you for these comments. I'm sure Annie will be delighted!

Annie is indeed delighted. Thank you John @@LaurelMcHargue
