Cults on Trial: A Cross-Examination of Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Hitler… and Donald Trump

The Culture of Cults
Our current malaise raises questions:
• Are we all soul-stained with selfishness... or is it just a
healthy survival instinct?
• Where is the line between normal self-interest and full-
blown Narcissism?
• How do we distinguish strong leadership from
manipulation? Community from Cult?
Drawing upon court cases and real world experiences, this book shows how cult gurus and “cult cultures” fit a predictable pattern, a common template of destructive traits and tactics. By studying Cult Culture, the author argues, we gain insight into current politics and Fascist demagogues.
First relating his own encounter with disillusioned cult members, author Lance Moore dissects the phenomena, exposing the methods of manipulation found in cult leaders —and on a smaller scale, in our own relationships.

This book is well-researched: it includes over 500 endnotes citing 500 Sources.

We have had some mention that Amazon is being slow to post their Reviews. Here are the reviews already coming in:
-A film producer/scriptwriter wrote: “Overall, this book is very interesting, thoughtful and well-written.”
-A 70-year-old veteran psychologist/counselor stated: “This will become a landmark book in the field.”
-An attorney friend-of-the-author, familiar with Dr. Moore’s other books, stated that this book is “one of your best works.”
-Another author (a JFK-assassination expert featured on the History Channel and other documentaries) said of Cults on Trial, “Highly Recommended!” “…a great writer!”
The average Amazon review rating for Moore’s previous eight books is over 4-stars… so if you see 1-star reviews posted, we can reasonably suspect they are cultists or politically-partisan folks unfairly attacking the book.
