The Manson Family slammed shut the door on the Summer of Love, The Age of Aquarius, and the ascendancy of Hippie culture, while not only not belonging to any of these groups, but openly disdaining them. The crimes they committed also ushered into the public arena the world of mass murderers and cults, which have become part & parcel of our everyday culture to the point of passing as entertainment.If you're interested in recent American History, cults, the upper echelons of human inhumanity to their fellow species, and IMO, human gullibility or susceptibility to manipulation, [a:Vincent Bugliosi 28828 Vincent Bugliosi https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1299068352p2/28828.jpg] has written the only book you need to read on the subject. To make the horror easier to digest you can listen to it in small doses via [a:Scott Brick 44554 Scott Brick https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1377113754p2/44554.jpg]'s top notch audio. Also, to ease your heart, I'd recommend watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's most recent revisionist treasure. At the very least the director gifts Sharon Tate, her baby, and her friends, the gift of life, and a possible HEA, that was denied them by fiends in the guise of humans.
