Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tom O'Neill spent 20 years researching this book after a magazine assignment in 1999—his editor originally wanted 5,000 words on Manson turning 60.
Louis Jolly West's presence in the archives isn't incidental—he was the CIA's go-to psychiatrist for MKUltra, and his connection to Manson remains deliberately obscured in official records.

For the love of god, give us Mindhunter S.3! Probably the best series I have seen on Netflix.
