Helter Skelter (book)

Helter Skelter (book)

"Helter Skelter" is a true crime book by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry. The subject of the book is the 1969 Manson Family murders and Bugliosi's own prosecution of Charles Manson and his followers.

"Helter Skelter" was first published in the United States in 1974 and became a bestseller. The book takes its title from the song by The Beatles, with which Manson was obsessed. Manson used the phrase for an anticipated race war. "Helter Skelter" won a 1975 Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime book and was the basis for two movies, released in 1976 and 2004.
