At the core of this book is an appalling double murder committed by two Mormon Fundamentalist brothers, Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a revelation from God commanding them to kill their blameless victims. Weaving the story of the Lafferty brothers and their fanatical brethren with a clear-eyed look at Mormonism's violent past, Krakauer examines the underbelly of the most successful homegrown faith in the United States, and finds a distinctly American brand of religious extremism.
The publisher says this is a book about Mormon fundamentalists. Mormons have not practiced polygamy since the 1800's. The people are not Mormons! They are groups totalyy unrelated to the LDS church.
