Reviews
"Fantastic. . . . Right up there withIn Cold BloodandThe Executioner's Song." -San Francisco Chronicle "Powerfully illuminating. . . . Almost every section of the book is fascinating in its own right, and together the chapters make a rich picture. . . . An arresting portrait of depravity." -The New York Times Book Review "This year's most audacious work of nonfiction. . . . A white-knuckle mix of true-crime reporting and provocative history." -New York Post "Scrupulously reported and written with Krakauer's usual exacting flair,Under the Banner of Heavenis both illuminating and thrilling. It is also the creepiest book anyone has written in a long time-and that's meant as the highest possible praise." -Newsweek "Krakauer writes with almost astonishing narrative force. It is hard to stop reading." -The Baltimore Sun "Stunningly researched. . . . Elegant reportage. . . . An evenhanded inquiry into the nature of religious belief itself." -Newsday "Captivating. . . . Fascinating and appalling. . . . [Krakauer] should be applauded-and read." -The San Diego Union-Tribune "A great book. . . . Krakauer has found a fascinating story in plain sight, right in the heart of the American West, and told it with the narrative drive and unflinching honesty that marked his 1998 best seller,Into Thin Air." -The Oregonian "Jon Krakauer is at his provocative best." -The New Orleans Times-Picayune "A fascinating page-turner. . . . Engrossing. . . .

Startling. . . . Mov[es] deftly between past and present [and] provides a fascinating glimpse of the church today." -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A powerful portrait of how two seemingly ordinary Americans became murderers." -The Economist "Illuminating . . . provocative. . . . Krakauer is an adept chronicler of extremists [and] the tour guide of choice for secular quests." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Marvelous. . . . A departure fromInto Thin AirandInto the Wild. . . but every bit as engrossing." -Entertainment Weekly "Well-researched and evenhanded. . . . Thought-provoking." -USA Today "Startling. . . . Timely. . . . Krakauer uncovers a ghastly trail of forced marriage, polygamy, violence and mind control. . . . A chilling look at Mormon fundamentalism." -The Charlotte Observer "Horrific, gripping. . . . Soberly written and courageously reported." -Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel "Engrossing. . . . Incisive. . . . [Krakauer is] a very careful reporter. . . . His clear-headed, unbiased examination of the church-leavened with genuine respect-and his conclusions . . . are hard to argue with." -Boulder Daily Camera "One hell of a chilling read." -Maxim "Compelling. . . .

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air , this extraordinary work of investigative journalism takes readers inside America's isolated Mormon Fundamentalist communities. Now an acclaimed FX limited series streaming on HULU. "Fantastic.... Right up there with In Cold Blood and The Executioner's Song. " -- San Francisco Chronicle Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer's book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multi-layered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America's fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * From the author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air , this extraordinary work of investigative journalism takes readers inside America's isolated Mormon Fundamentalist communities. * Now an acclaimed FX limited series streaming on HULU.
