The Myth of Helter Skelter (English Edition)

In 1969 in Los Angeles, a crime took place which has been sensationalized to a point that it has attained mythological proportions in the minds of many people. This is the story of Helter Skelter. After decades of receiving letters from misguided youth and misinformed fanatics, Susan Atkins hoped to produce a counter-point to the "Helter Skelter" story that would demystify the crimes and show them for what they were. She hoped if she could explain them maybe they would no longer be the point of obsession they have become to some. “People are intrigued by what they don’t understand.” Susan Atkins-Whitehouse
