Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order--their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of the sixties. Manson became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia--or dystopia--was just an acid trip away. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the 'official' story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents. Every discovery brought more questions: Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties? Why didn't law enforcement agents, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him? And how did Manson--an illiterate ex-con--turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers? The product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, Chaos mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles deputy district attorney Stephen Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. This is a book that will forever alter our understanding of a pivotal time in American history."--Dust jacket.14aManson, Charles, d1934-2017 10aUnited States.bCentral Intelligence Agency.14aEstados Unidos.bAgencia Central de Inteligencia  0aMass murderzCaliforniazLos AngelesvCase studies. 4aAsesinato en masa zCalifornia (Los Ángeles) vEstudios de caso  0aMurdererszCaliforniazLos AngelesvCase studies. 4aAsesinos zCalifornia (Los Ángeles) vEstudios de caso  0aMurderxInvestigationxPress coveragezCaliforniazLos Angeles. 4aAsesinato xCobertura de prensa zCalifornia (Los Ángeles)  0aPolice misconductzCaliforniazLos Angeles. 4aMala conducta de la policía zCalifornia (Los Ángeles)  0aLegal ethicszCaliforniazLos Angeles. 4aÉtica legalzCalifornia (Los Ángeles) 1 aPiepenbring, Dan,d1986-
