I have been hard at work on a new book coming out this fall.
It is a much expanded and revised version of my "Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, and Bugliosi's Bungle" multi part series. I will be adding several chapters to it and altering and dropping others.
But I have been doing a lot of research on Bugliosi's early career.
Everyone knows he made his reputation and name and riches off of the Tate/La Bianca murders case.
I had never read Helter Skelter before this. When I did, I was kind of confused. Because I didn't buy the overall thesis. The whole thing about the race war etc as a motive for the murders.
So I went to some web sites out there about that case. I got a big surprise.
Many, many experts on that case do not buy Bugliosi's book AT ALL!
Get this: One guy actually called it a novel!
So now, I am reading other books on that case and its all very interesting. I think I may have made a new chapter for my book: Something like "Re-evaluating Helter Skelter"
Its a very questionable book today.
