Synopsis
Jon Krakauer's true-crime investigation, which explores the sick reality behind the murder of an innocent woman and her baby in 1984, goes further and looks at the history and the present-day practices of the Mormon Church. The two self-confessed murderers, both devout Mormon fundamentalists, claimed that God instructed them to kill their brother's wife and daughter, and that therefore they did nothing wrong. Krakauer traveled North America, interviewing Mormons of all varieties, from fanatical polygamists to 13-year-old brides and incest victims, to expose the truth about the horrifying extremist sect that these two men embody. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Industry Reviews
"UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN is an arresting portrait of depravity that may have broader relevance than the author intended."
New York Times Book Review - Robert Wright (08/03/2003)
"[Jon] Krakauer compellingly details the history of the Mormon church...[and] poses some striking questions about the closed-minded, closed-door policies of the religion--and many religions in general."
