Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

Another book by Krakauer. I find he jumps around a lot in his writing, which is fine when there is a limited number of characters like in Into the Wild or Into Thin Air, but when you’re taking about the 100+-year-old history of the Mormon church and fundamentalists today, it gets pretty confusing. Still I thought it was interesting, not only to learn about the history of Mormonism, but to start to think about really fanatical people of any religion.
