CULTS: The End of the Summer of Love: The Manson Family

In the summer of 1969, Los Angeles was living in the long glow of
the counterculture — until two nights of murders shattered it
beyond repair. Charles Manson never held the knife himself, but
he held something more powerful: the total psychological devotion
of young men and women who would kill on his word. We examine how
Manson built his family, what he promised them, the ideology of
race war he called Helter Skelter, and the murders of Sharon
Tate, Abigail Folger, and five others that made the whole country
lock its doors. Fifty years on, we ask what made Manson possible
— and what made his followers willing.
