(More customer reviews)This account of Jim Jones, Peoples Temple and the Jonestown massacre is one of the most thorough and disturbing works in the genre. Covering events and personalities connected to Jonestown in such fine detail as to render the environment of the People's Temple almost palpable, this work is invaluable to those truly interested in the phenomena known as "Jonestown". Although I remain skeptical regarding the truth of Meiers' claim that the "mass suicide" at Jonestown was a CIA medical experiment, the wealth of evidence he presents leaves little doubt that there was more to Jim Jones, People's Temple and Jonestown than suggested by the standard histories and general media coverage. A powerful and valuable work of investigation and research

A work of investigative journalism that presents the theory that the Central Intelligence Agency employed the Reverend Jim Jones to administer a pharmaceutical field test in mind control and ethnic weaponry to a large test group, namely the membership of the Peoples Temple. The text proposes that Dr. Laurence Layton (former Chief of the U.S. Army's Chemical and Biological Warfare Division) cultured the AIDS virus to be tested and deployed in a CIA-backed experiment in Jonestown, Guyana.
