Guyana massacre

by Charles A. Krause

**Nothing Like This Has Ever Happened Before** Nightmare days of terror and tragedy, focusing the eyes of the entire world on a remote settlement deep in the South American jungle, culminating in the horrifying mass murder/suicide of an entire town... **The Eyewitness Account** *Washington Post* correspondent Chuck Krause was there — from the first peaceful encounter with Reverend Jim Jones and his followers, to the bloody airport ambush that left a U.S. Congressman and three newsmen dead, to the staggering discovery of the communal murder/suicide in Jonestown that would leave more than 900 men, women and children dead from a ritual potion of Flavour-aide and cyanide — Chuck Krause was there. *Guyana Massacre* is the definitive record of the most bizarre tragedy of our time, written by the award-winning *Washington Post* news team, including the reporter who was there from beginning to end.
