Horrifying. Reading this book was possibly the most wrenching literary experience of my life. Exhaustively researched and noted (the narrative covers barely more than half of the book's 430 printed pages, the rest are notes, references, etc.), this must be considered the most important and complete historical account of what is, without any question, the blackest hour of LDS church history. As a Mormon myself, I have no words for that awful scene. The historians do an admirable job of placing the massacre in its proper historical context, and they are unflinching in their condemnation of its perpetrators, regardless of what the Latter-day Saints had endured in their relatively short history and what they feared was coming at the hands of the government and other settlers. Certainly those who planned and carried out the murders recognized that there was no excuse for what they had done. I am not a big "moral of the story" kind of reader, but this book ought to give anyone, and certainly Mormons in particular, pause. The fact that otherwise good faithful church leaders allowed themselves to be caught up in the frenzied paranoia of that moment to such a degree that they would even consider, let alone carry out, this atrocity should cause each of us to think about our assumptions, how we might allow our emotions, assumptions, and personal fears to govern our actions. We dare not assume that such a deed could not be emulated, to one degree or another, in our day.
