When millionaire shrimping magnate Donald Sahlman died of cancer in November 1992, his friends, family and business associates crowded into a church in Tampa, Florida to mourn a man who was gentle, generous and compassionate. But their benevolent image of Sahlman was about to be shattered. In a case that would shock all who knew him and set a legal precedent, Sahlman was put on trail and posthumously charged with the heinous sexual abuse of his stepdaughter. 
More than a quarter of a century after the fall of Peoples Temple, in which the world witnessed the devastating loss of over nine hundred lives—including those of Congressman Leo J. Ryan and several journalists—the tragedy of Jonestown continues to mystify. In a sensitive account that traces the rise and fall of the idealistic community movement that preceded the deaths at Jonestown, Denice Stephenson uses letters, oral histories, journal entries, and other original documents—many published here for the first time—to bring this inexplicable event into a very personal and human perspective.

You will share his triumph as he tames a killer horse.

Deborah Layton was, by her own account, a typical rebellious youth, with nothing in her dossier to indicate that she would eventually find herself in Jim Jones’s People’s Temple in Guyana, looking for a way out of the green hell that had become the People’s Temple Agricultural Project. She barely escaped in June 1978. Within months, more than 900 people drank Jones’s cyanide punch and committed “revolutionary suicide” in the face of mounting stateside pressure on the cult, some of it prompted by Layton’s own testimonials upon her safe return home. Her brother, Larry, also survived, and as one of the few left alive in Guyana became a scapegoat for Jones’s crimes; he is now serving a life sentence in federal prison.

Nearly 1,000 people - even tiny babies and children - lay dead and rotting in the morning sun in the South American country of Guyana, all victims of cult leader Jim Jones, who had ordered the mass execution of his followers in the 1978 incident called by many “The Crime of the Century”. An horrific dramatization of the Guyana tragedy where the names have been changed to protect the “innocent,” “Guyana: Crime of the Century,” traces the steps of Rev. Jim Johnson (Jim Jones - portrayed by Stuart Whitman), a highly charismatic, but profoundly paranoid man of the cloth, who, after years of evangelism and good deeds, starts his own church in the United States. When Johnson becomes increasingly obsessed with the belief that the CIA is “a wicked enemy” who is out to get him, he emigrates with his congregation to Guyana where he plans to create a utopia. But Johnson’s “utopia,” consists of a society where he demands his followers turn their minds, bodies and possessions over to him, and a lifestyle that is rife with orgies, physical violence, mental torture, and sexual abuse of children and adults. When Congressman Lee O’Brien (portrayed by Gene Barry) makes a special trip to Johnsontownship in Guyana to investigate allegations of Johnson’s bizarre activities, Johnson’s paranoia reaches a fever pitch that culminates in him taking savage action against the congressman and ultimately, against his own congregation.
