Right up there with In Cold Blood and The Executioner’s Song. ” — San Francisco Chronicle Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multi-layered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America’s fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief. Review: Really nice - Was afraid of starting reading as I had heard that the book gets boring. For me, it was really good. Completed it in 3 days but still wanted more. Most of it is history of Mormonism . If you don't like reading history, you may not like the book. It got some psychological aspect, especially at last during the trial of the brothers . Really worth reading Review: Insightful and well-written - Interesting read. Great facts and insights. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #969,426 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,708 in True Accounts (Books) #3,791 in Christianity (Books) #4,275 in History of Civilization & Culture | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 9,660 Reviews | ## Images ![Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71szFRlOAaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice *by M***T on 31 August 2018* Was afraid of starting reading as I had heard that the book gets boring.

Great facts and insights. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mormonism Exposed *by B***. on 14 November 2025* This book was worth reading. I was unaware of the Mormons and their establishment until I came across "Under the Banner of Heaven". Well narrated without any biasness from the author about the origin of Mormonism, their atrocities such as murders, polygamy and many unaturals practices which they considered to be scared are quite disturbing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith - Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt.
