Ed Sanders – The Family – First Edition 1972
£150.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Family’, published by Hart-Davis in 1972. A very good book – off-setting and spotting to the endflaps of the dust wrapper which is clipped and the endpapers – no inscriptions. In a very good clipped wrapper with a little wear to the extremities and some fading to the spine.
‘The Family’ by Ed Sanders is a true crime book that investigates the Manson Family cult and the horrific Tate-LaBianca murders of 1969. Blending journalism and countercultural critique, Sanders delves into Charles Manson’s manipulative leadership, the backgrounds of his followers, and the social conditions that enabled the violence. Written in a gritty, poetic style, the book exposes the dark underside of the 1960s, offering a chilling portrait of extremism, lost youth, and the collapse of idealism.
