Manson Exposed

A Reporter's 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder

By: Ivor Davis

Narrated by: Matthew Waterson

American-based foreign correspondent Ivor Davis delivers a gripping "I was there" eyewitness, inside story about the most notorious murder spree of the 20th century.

In Manson Exposed: A Reporter's 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder, Davis is the brutally honest guide to this true crime horror story.

In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and investigative journalism, Davis delivers a truly original take on the byzantine case that terrified and mesmerized the nation, including his new conclusion that the Beatles didn't make them do it.

Davis was on the front lines of the story and offers vivid, personal accounts, interviews, and hitherto unknown details from the very beginning right up to the death of the blue collar psycho named Charles Manson.

He charts the tragic inside stories not only of the those murdered but of the long list of collateral damage victims: the rock star, the Oscar-winning director, and the entertainment legends whose lives were also destroyed by Charles Manson and his crackpot acolytes.

Great book. Nice to see from a different view

It took me a while to get into the book. I was thinking, "why do we need the media point of view? Isn't that basically the standard story?" But soon I realized the value of this edition. There were several things in the book which were new for me. The cool thing is that there is focus on aspects usually not focused upon. The narrator is absolutely perfect.

I really appreciated the focus on "involved" or "other" characters. Also loved the information about Manson's life in prison. This is one of the more recent books, so there are updates which are interesting.

A few times I noticed things that were not exactly correct--or at least were not the way they are usually said to be. But there's no exaggeration in the promos for this book. Davis knows this stuff well and has been involved in it.

Well Done

I have read many books now on the topic surrounding the case of August 1969. This was quite interesting in the seldom revealed details of several incidents where CM & "family members" were involved. CM's prison details are quite enlightening. I found it well articulated and enjoyed the clear and well paced style of the narrator as well. Not just another "Manson book." 👏 📚

Great Book about Manson

I've read probably every book on Manson, and this is one of my favorites. Ivor Davis covered the events of 1969 and the subsequent trials, so he has a unique perspective that I really enjoyed.

Narration was superb. You will love this one!
