It’s the event from which the expression “drinking the Kool-Aid” springs, although the lethal drink at Jonestown was cyanide-spiked Flavor-Aid.įondakowski’s book explored how Peoples Temple started out with messages of love, equality, and brotherhood. The story I was initially told-that many of us were told-was that Jones was a charismatic cult leader who led hundreds of trusting people sheeplike into a mass suicide. One example that comes to mind is Leigh Fondakowski’s Stories from Jonestown, a book that weaves together scores of interviews from the survivors of Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple. Plenty of books have changed my mind, or at least my viewpoint.
