5.0 out of 5 stars This is "the book" about Jim Jones, April 11, 2000

This review is from: El Cuervo/Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

This is not a quick/cash in book by some wanna-be, we are talking about a well-crafted piece. Furthermore, aside of being extremely well written and researched, the work shed some light into the psychology of cults. I believe that Raven can help us understand and eliminate many "Jim Joneses" that plague our world culture.

Well done Reiterman/Jacobs hey what's up! Mr. Publisher, this book cannot be out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive study of a horrific event, November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: El Cuervo/Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

This is the best in depth study of not just Jonestown but of the career of Jim Jones before that horrible event. Reiterman was present at the airport at Jonestown when Rep. Leo Ryan and the others were killed. The book is a character study of a man who started out as a person who did good but became a paranoid megalomaniac. Reiterman and Jacobs are to be commended for an amazing job of research and a terrific read.

In this age when so much sensationalism is being published, it is a shame that this book is no longer available. It is a cautionary tale worthy of repeating in light of Waco and other horrific events. Hopefully it will be republished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent account of the Jonestown Massacre., January 25, 2000

By 

Tony Ukena "TU" (CA, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: El Cuervo/Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Well written, unbiased account of the Jonestown Massacre by someone who was there when it happened, and knows how to write. I was wide awake for the last 300pp sacrificing sleep just to get to the end of it. It helps explain how and why 912 innocent people died at the instruction of their leader, Jim Jones.
