November 1978. Reverend Jim Jones, the darling of the San Francisco political establishment, orchestrates the murders and suicides of 918 people at a remote jungle outpost in South America. Days later, Harvey Milk, one of America's first openly gay elected officials-and one of Jim Jones's most vocal supporters-is assassinated in San Francisco's City Hall. This horrifying sequence of events shocked the world. Almost immediately, the lives and deaths of Jim Jones and Harvey Milk became shrouded in myth. Now, forty years later, this book corrects the record. The product of a decade of research, including extensive archival work and dozens of exclusive interviews, Cult City reveals just how confused our understanding has become. In life, Jim Jones enjoyed the support of prominent politicians and Hollywood stars even as he preached atheism and communism from the pulpit; in death, he transformed into a fringe figure, a "fundamentalist Christian" and a "fascist." In life, Harvey Milk faked hate crimes, outed friends, and falsely claimed that the US Navy dishonorably discharged him over his homosexuality; in death, he is honored in an Oscar- winning movie, with a California state holiday, and a US Navy ship named after him. His assassin, a blue-collar Democrat who often voted with Milk in support of gay issues, is remembered as a right-winger and a homophobe. But the story extends far beyond Jones and Milk. Author Daniel J. Flynn vividly portrays the strange intersection of mainstream politics and murderous extremism in 1970s San Francisco-the hangover after the high of the Summer of Love. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Milk, Harvey. 600 10 Jones, Jim,|d1931-1978. 610 20 Peoples Temple|xHistory. 650 0 Electronic books. 650 0 Jonestown Mass Suicide, Jonestown, Guyana, 1978. 650 0 Cults|zCalifornia|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Cults|zGuyana|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 San Francisco (Calif.)|xPolitics and government|y20th century. 651 0 San Francisco (Calif.)|xHistory|y20th century. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12244519?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ opr_9781504056762_180.jpeg
