Description
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith is a non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer that explores the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its fundamentalist offshoots. The book focuses on the 1984 murder of Brenda Lafferty and her baby daughter, committed by two brothers who claimed to be acting on direct orders from God. Krakauer delves into the origins of Mormonism, the nature of religious extremism, and the psychological and cultural factors that can lead to acts of violence.
