Summary: Chilling
Comment: This book sent chills through me as I read, but it is perhaps because all of this took place within 10-30 miles of my home and I know some of the people involved. No truer title could have been picked for this book.

Summary: I question his facts.
Comment: The title of this book has the word TRUE in its title. I fully expected the title to be a true account, and for the most part I think it is. But on page 187 of this book it is written: "Unfortunately, support from his family and friends was beginning to dwindle." Unfortunately, that was a statement that was so far from the truth. That was a statement that was never checked out nor confirmed by Mr. Colvin. That was a statement that could make people who know Lester's family, question the validity of the whole book. I wonder just why he would make a statement unless this was a book of fiction?

Summary: The story of how one man's fanatcism ruined lives
Comment: This is a very well researched account of how one man's dissatisfaction with his life and the influence of the Posse Comitatus resulted in the deaths by torture of a five year old child and a gentle, easily influenced man. The way that Mike Ryan was able to use those disenfranchised by the farm crisis to join him in his paranoid fantasy and live according to his rules is a study in abnormal psychology. As someone who came in contact with this group who lived by stealing from isolated farmsteads while purportedly carrying out God's will, I still find it a frightening story of how many ways religion can be twisted into evil deeds.I lost my copy of this book because a friend from California couldn't put it down before he had to leave!
