The Making of a Monster: How Jim Jones Built Jonestown
Jim Jones—a small-town boy who grew up in poverty during the Great Depression and eventually became one of the most infamous cult leaders in history. Raised in a troubled home, young Jim found solace in religion, but his obsession with power and control led him down a dark path. From his early days of preaching to collecting dead animals and holding bizarre funerals, to the eventual founding of the Peoples Temple and the horrifying events that unfolded in Jonestown, this is a true crime tale that’s as disturbing as it is fascinating.
Was Jim truly convinced of his divine powers, or was it all a calculated move to maintain control?
