Paul Watkins - Manson's second in-command - offers a detailed account of his life within the family. The book takes the reader straight to Spahn Ranch in time to experience the Magical Mystery Tour, and then on to the preparations for the dreaded "Helter Skelter". The story eventually builds up to a showdown in Death Valley, where an old miner reclaims the souls of a few Manson followers, including Watkins. The book is currently out of print, and used copies can sell in the hundreds, but the first-hand accounts revealed within the book make it a must read for anyone wanting to catch a glimpse inside life in the Manson family.
