Manson's Right-Hand Man Speaks Out

Told as a series of questions and answers over ten chapters, this book records an interview with Charles "Tex" Watson, a man closely tied to Charles Manson's followers. Each chapter takes up a different subject, from the events of that period to Watson's own reflections on his life. The publisher suggests the material will be useful to historians, to parents and to students, and to readers seeking answers about how people end up in such circumstances.
