Synopsis

Edward George understand Charles Manson as few others ever will. Former prison counselor to the messianic killer, George enraged Manson as an agent of the state's criminal justice system, listened to him as a trusted confessor, spoke for him as an erstwhile press agent-and-almost-connected with him as a friend. George saw Manson in a way the public never would, witnessing the method to his madness, the charisma that underlies his sickness, the pathetic abandoned boy within the homicidal man. If you read Helter Skelter and think you know the whole story about Charlie Manson, think again. You don't know it all until you've read Taming the Beast: Charles Manson's Life Behind Bars.

Media Reviews
A valuable book which gives additional insights into the criminal mind of Charles Manson. --Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter
[George] strives to understand Manson and his devotees and, spewing psychological and spiritual insights and plenty of witchy Masonoid details, succeeds in horrifying his readers.' -- Booklist
[ Taming the Beast ] puts a human face on a man whose very name defines evil-revealing the personality hidden during television interviews. -- Almeda Journal

The latest entry in the canon of a true madman...this volume...gives us an ugly, ugly look at a man whose entire life has been a study in sickness. -- Kirkus Reviews
This anecdotal account...confirms that Manson remains without remorse, unstable, frightening, and unlikely to ever be paroled. -- Library Journal
Manson continues his reign as America's leading celebrity carnivore. -- Phoenix Arizona Republic
