This is the gripping story of the real Charles Manson as told by his long-time prison administrator, counselor, unofficial "press agent," and confidant, Ed George. "Throughout my life, people have asked me about Manson. . . . 'Does he have hypnotic powers?' 'Does he have a diabolical charisma?' . . . 'Is he crazy?' My response is that for some people, the answer to all of the above is yes--except for the last question." --EDWARD GEORGE Charles Manson was perhaps the most infamous criminal of the twentieth century. Convicted for orchestrating the shocking Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969, and for two other killings, there has been much written about him.
