UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN - JON KRAKAUER KARTO...

A gripping true crime account of polygamy  savage violence  and unyielding faith in the
American heartland from the bestselling author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air.    Now a
major TV miniseries starring Andrew Garfield.   Brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty insist they were
commanded to kill by God. In Under the Banner of Heaven   Jon Krakauer's meticulous
investigation into the murder of a mother and her child uncovers a bone-chilling narrative of
Mormon fundamentalism and renegade prophets.  This incisive look inside isolated Mormon
Fundamentalist communities in America illuminates an otherwise confounding realm of human
behaviour  offering a provocative exploration of the seductive power of fanaticism.   'A
provocative look at the twisted roots of American fundamentalism.' - Will Self  Evening
Standard 'Books of the Year'  'Excellent . . . a lucid  judicious  even sympathetic account not
just of Mormon Fundamentalism but of the seductive power of fanaticism in general.' - Daily
Telegraph   'Remarkable . . . for anyone interested in the wilder frontiers of spiritual
conviction  this book is a must.' - Independent
