Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multi-layered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America's fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jon Krakauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/8\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.01\" H x 5.22\" L x 0.94\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781400032808\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damascus Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42385366155358,"sku":"9781400032808","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/7584\/3166\/files\/9781400032808.jpg?v=1774791607","url":"https:\/\/damascusroad.one\/products\/under-the-banner-of-heaven-a-story-of-violent-faith-jon-krakauer-paperback","provider":"Damascus Road","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
