Under the Banner of Heaven, A Story of Violent Faith

Under the Banner of Heaven, A Story of Violent Faith

by Jon Krakauer

  • HISTORY
  • 2004
  • PAPER
  • 400 PAGES

Krakauer, best-selling author of "Into Thin Air" and "Into the Wild," tries his hand at a different kind of investigative journalism in this engrossing account of murder among the Mormon fundamentalist community. More than just a true crime story, it's also a history of the Mormon faith and its disparate sects in the American West.  (SWU149, $16.00)
