Very factual and informative.
Not just one author’s opinion but many historical references to back up his writing. Highly recommended.

Tale of unpunished criminality
Not my cup of tea. Didn't go past chapter 3 Well written on disgusting long term abuse of women and children that's still on going as a religious right of only the male, with infrequent legal intervention of wholesale Slavery, debauchery, maiming and murder. All too common in USA amongst many cultures that hold women , children as chattel property.

Interesting look into Polygamy
Having been raised LDS (NOT Fundamentalist & no longer a believer) I found this book a very interesting look into a religious subculture. Overall, I felt it was fairly presented and well researched. I felt the author presented the facts without a whole lot of personal opinion regarding the beliefs of modern Mormons. I'm sure many a practicing Mormon will disagree but I would recommend this book to anyone who has a lot of questions regarding how the modern day Mormon polygamists came into being.Having been raised LDS (NOT Fundamentalist & no longer a believer) I found this book a very interesting look into a religious subculture.

Under the Banner of Heaven
UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN: A STORY OF VIOLENT FAITH BY JON KRAKAUER: I finished Under the Banner of Heaven two days ago now, and I haven't written the review yet, waiting to see if anything would change in my mind about Mormons, and so far nothing has. I still think it's a horribly misogynistic religion that goes even further than all other religions I know to take away all responsibility, independent thought, and individualism, and literally sacrifice oneself to god and whoever is your president and high lord protector (the title isn't exactly this, but is just as preposterous), whether you be regular Mormon or fundamentalist -- of course, he is a man, without a doubt. The crux of the book is the deaths of Eric and her eight or so year-old daughter at the hands of the Lafferty brothers ... UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN: A STORY OF VIOLENT FAITH BY JON KRAKAUER: I finished Under the Banner of Heaven two days ago now, and I haven't written the review yet, waiting to see if anything would change in my mind about Mormons, and so far nothing has. I still think it's a horribly misogynistic religion that goes even further than all other religions I know to take away all responsibility, independent thought, and individualism, and literally sacrifice oneself to god and whoever is your president and high lord protector (the title isn't exactly this, but is just as preposterous), whether you be regular Mormon or fundamentalist -- of course, he is a man, without a doubt. The crux of the book is the deaths of Eric and her eight or so year-old daughter at the hands of the Lafferty brothers who still can't decide who officially slit the girls throats. While the book managed to enrage me throughout, it did serve to educate and enlighten me on the religion in general, and on the important differences between the fundamentalists and the Latter Day Saints (LDS). The book also presents the history of Mormonism with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and what led to the creation of the religion, its development through the decades and centuries, with the Mormons being ostracized wherever they went, until they settled in the deserts of Utah and set about completely ignoring the US government and living their lives as they saw fit. The Church of Latter Day Saints continues to do this to some degree today, and the fundamentalists especially, thriving on it. So let's clear up the main thing first: polygamy. The Church of Latter Day Saints condones and doesn't allow polygamy, after changing this steadfast rule from the D&C (Doctrine and Covenants -- the rulebook which Mormons go by as put down by Joseph Smith, with additions made by Brigham Young and successive "prophets") in the nineteenth century when the government essentially pressured them into doing this, since polygamy was (AND STILL IS!) illegal in every state. But in a religion where everyone from the president to the lowly devout woman has the ability to talk with god and receive his instruction; splitting, and the formation of break-off sects and groups is as inevitable as night come sunset. And it it's these break-off groups that form their own churches and communes (Colorado City in Utah is one of these), and they are the fundamentalists groups who believe that the LDS have fallen from the true ruling of god and take it upon themselves to adhere to the D&C as they see fit. The result is a town like Colorado City, in the middle of the desert, isolated, as they like it. There polygamy is a way of life; if you don't subscribe to this way, you are pressured and then ostracized. It is also in this town where anywhere from thirteen to sixteen year-old girls are ordered, yes, ordered by the president to marry whatever man the president decrees, without any choice in the matter. Ordered to marry that man, live with him, and whose sole duty is to bear as many children as possible, no questions asked . . . or you're going to hell! This is the truth. This is life in Colorado City. It is also here that instances of rape and pedophilia are becoming common place, as fathers take a liking to their eleven year-old daughters (whether they be biologically or adopted through marriage), rape them, and them force them to marry their fathers. And it seems pretty pathetic when our president makes it his duty to

Excellent! Extremely thought provoking!
This book is primarily about the fundamentalist Mormon church, but does provide lots of history on the mainstream Mormon religion, including, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and the difficulties the church has faced with politics and polygamy. It's an amazing history of the US and religion. I found it hard to put the book down, but each chapter requires the opportunity to reflect upon the content. I found myself appalled and enthralled at the same time. Basically, it's a history of what has been done 'in the name of God' within the Mormon church and the splinter fundamentalist religions. A very informative read - especially with the recent arrest of Warren Jeffs - this book describes the history of his family and how his beliefs came to be!This book is primarily about the fundamentalist Mormon church, but does provide lots of history on the mainstream Mormon religion, including, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and the difficulties the church has faced with politics and polygamy.
