    [synopsis] => Re-issued in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the mass suicides at Jonestown, this revised edition of David Chidester's path breaking book features a new prologue that considers the meaning of the tragedy for a post-Waco, post-9/11 world. For Chidester, Jonestown recalls the American religious commitment to redemptive sacrifice, which for Jim Jones meant saving his followers from the evils of capitalist society. Jonestown is ancient history, writes Chidester, but it does provide us with an opportunity to reflect upon the strangeness of familiar... promises of redemption through sacrifice.
