This review is from: The Jonestown Massacre: the Transcript of Reverend Jim Jones' Last Speech, Guyana 1978 (Paperback)
This booklet has many typos and inaccuracies. You'd do better with "Dear People: Remembering Jonestown" edited by Denice Stephenson, which includes an accurate and unedited transcript of the audiotape made on the final day of Jonestown, as well as other fascinating writings from the Peoples Temple Collection at the California Historical Society.

This review is from: The Jonestown Massacre: the Transcript of Reverend Jim Jones' Last Speech, Guyana 1978 (Paperback)
Jim Jones had something called white nights where he tried to persuade the enemies were upon Jonestown. He would gather his people in the pavillion like normal. It was the community center where they also gathered to eat and celebrate only hours ago with Congressman Leo Ryan, the press, and concerned family members. After Congressman Ryan had left to Port Kaituma to board one of many planes, he would be shot and killed by JOnes' army of men along with three reporters and a defector who was with Jones for twenty years. This transcript is complete but there are bad black and white photos in it. I still don't know what to make of Jonestown thirty years later. The speech is Jim Jones trying to get everybody to finally commit revolutionary suicide. For many in Jonestown, they thought it was another drill but it wasn't. This was the beginning of the end on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Jones' had only one person to speak against the mass suicide and her name was Christine Miller. She was one of the many who was forced to take the poison.
