Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People Who Joined Them by Max Cutler

dark informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I’ve been fascinated with cults since taking a class on them in college and the fascination has only grown since then. Now this book doesn’t only feature the classic cults such as Children of God or Jonestown but also more quietly sinister cults that I hadn’t read much about and I enjoyed that a lot. This book explores the language that’s used to draw people into these cults and cultish environments and the backgrounds of those who create these cults and it’s really quite startling once you realize how easily these men drew people in and convinced them to commit horrific acts. If you’re as fascinated and interested in cults as I am then I highly recommend this read!
