On July 24, 1984, a woman and her daughter were brutally murdered by two brothers, Ron and Dan Lafferty, fundamentalist Mormons claiming to act by divine command. This story, which seems to be characteristic of Islamic fundamentalism, happens in the United States as a result of an extreme interpretation of one of the countrys most popular religious creeds. From here, Jon Krakauer, accustomed to dealing with extreme situations, writes a brilliant and fascinating account of the theocracies of deep America controlled by renegade Mormon prophets. If the stories he narrated in High Evil or Wilderness Routes were examples of lives taken to the more extreme limits of physical adventure, this book is also a journey towards a very extreme interpretation of religious faith without leaving the borders of his own country. Along the way, he will expose the existence of a hidden violent and inflexible religious fundamentalism that fosters a deceptive messianic idealism. In the light of the terrible history of the fanatical Lafferty brothers and of the violent past of the Mormon movement, Krakauer examines the The weakest point in Americas most successful religion, and finds an unmistakable American side of religious extremism. His provocative questions about the role of religion in the life of man make this book a fundamental document on one of the most mysterious aspects of human nature, the religious factor and its interpretation.
