Two recommendations:

- The book Helter Skelter, by Vincent Bugliosi, the DA that tried the Manson clan.

- The movie Helter Skelter, a made for TV movie about the Tate and LaBianca murders and the trial, based on the above book.

Amen...Read it years ago and it’s excellent.

- "The book Helter Skelter, by Vincent Bugliosi, the DA that tried the Manson clan."

Actually, the book "The Family" by Ed Saunders was a better book on the Manson family. In fact, it's one of my favorite true crime books of all time. If you liked Helter Skelter you should definitely check it out.

I also recommend Bugliosi’s book, Helter Skelter; and the tv movie of the same name was excellent. Steve Railsback was incredibly effective as Manson.
