Summary
In the summer of 1969, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel carried out horrific acts of butchery on the orders of the charismatic cult leader Charles Manson. At their murder trial the following year, lead prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi described the two so-called Manson Women as 'human monsters.' But to anyone who knew them growing up, they were bright, promising girls, seemingly incapable of such an unfathomable crime. Award-winning journalist Nikki Meredith began visiting Van Houten and Krenwinkel in prison to discover how they had changed during their incarceration. The more Meredith got to know them, the more she was lured into a deeper dilemma: What compels 'normal' people to do unspeakable things? The author's relationship with her subjects provides a chilling lens through which we gain insight into a particular kind of woman capable of a particular kind of brutality. Through their stories, Nikki Meredith takes readers on a dark journey into the very heart of evil.

Less a book about the Manson girls, and more about being a Semite, finding antisemitism everywhere, in everything, and being outraged by it; but only when it was convenient, or might gain her the upper hand in a situation. The outright falsehoods stated about the case, which are easily proven by a quick google search, just made the book laughable, to be honest. As a longtime studier of this case, this is the most disappointing book, on the subject, I have read so far. Makes "Helter Skelter" seem like a tome of reality, rather than the tabloid money maker it actually is. Waste of time.
