The Cult Files opens a fascinating window onto some of these extraordinary cults and alternative new religions. In balanced, factual accounts of events and personalities that often seem to defy reality, Mikul examines the cult's history, rituals and charismatic leaders, and the extremes to which their devoted followers will go in fulfilling their beliefs -regardless of the cost to themselves or to others.
