In this first-hand account, King tells how Vernon Howell - a ninth-grade drop-out - became David Koresh, leader of a world-wide religious cult which supplied him with new members, money and 20 "wives" aged 12 to 70.;The book also reveals the rise of David Koresh through the eyes of ex-cult member, Marc Breault.
