A reporter’s long view of the Manson case

Ivor Davis frames this account through five decades of reporting on the Charles Manson murders and their aftermath. Combining personal memoir with investigative journalism and critical commentary, the book draws on Davis’s firsthand presence during the original story, along with interviews and details he presents from across the case’s long public life. Its scope extends beyond the murders themselves to examine the people described as collateral victims, including figures from music, film, and entertainment whose lives were affected by Manson and his followers. Davis also advances his own conclusion about the often-discussed connection between the Beatles and the crimes.

Book overview

American based Foreign correspondent Ivor Davis, delivers a gripping, "I was there" eye witness, inside story about the most notorious murder spree of the 20th century.

In Manson Exposed: A Reporter's Fifty-Year Journey into Madness and Murder, Davis is the brutally honest guide to this true crime horror story.

In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and investigative journalism, Davis delivers a truly original take on the byzantine case that terrified and mesmerized the nation, including his new conclusion that THE BEATLES DIDN'T MAKE THEM DO IT.

Davis was on the front lines of the story and offers vivid, personal accounts, interviews and hitherto unknown details from the very beginning right up to the death of the blue collar psycho named Charles Manson.

He charts the tragic inside stories not only of the those murdered but of the long list of Collateral Damage victims: the rock star, the Oscar winning director and the entertainment legends, whose lives were also destroyed by Charles Manson and his crackpot acolytes.
