Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith (Audio CD) (Abridged)

This is the most compelling non-fiction book I have ever read. The narration by Scott Brick adds to the intensity of the story. There were times I was so engaged in the book, I literally couldn't make myself turn it off. The history is thorough and incredibly interesting. Krakauer presents the facts as is, without putting his own thoughts and feelings into the mix. I'd recommend this book for anyone who likes this author or who enjoys compelling non-fiction or if you have an interest in the history of Mormonism.
