Tragedy in Guyana
Why?

  • Over 900 dead.
  • Ambush and Murder.
  • Suicide.

The question is 'how could it happen?'
How could one man induce over a thousand Americans to give up their worldly possessions and move to South America?
Why was Congressman Leo J. Ryan ambushed and murdered?
How could so many respected Americans such as Rosalynn Carter, Vice President Walter Mondale, the mayor of San Francisco, Joseph Califano, Secretary of HEW, write complimentary letters to Reverend Jim Jones?
Was the People's Temple planning to move to Russia?
Why did Rev. Jones' son think his father was a fanatic and a paranoid?
