Heaven's Gate, a secretive group of celibate 'monks' awaiting pickup by a UFO, captured intense public attention in 1997 when its members committed collective suicide. This book offers a look at the cult phenomenon. It addresses our pressing need to know about the mentality of those true believers who take extreme measures in the name of a cause.
