Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · NOW A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY

In Chaos, journalist Tom O’Neill unravels the shocking untold story behind the Charles Manson murders, revealing new evidence of FBI involvement, legal misconduct, and government cover-ups that challenge everything we thought we knew about this infamous case.

What began as a short magazine piece became a twenty-year investigation spanning Hollywood, the CIA’s mind-control experiments, and America’s dark underbelly of the 1960s. Through hundreds of interviews and newly uncovered documents, O’Neill exposes how law enforcement failures, hidden connections, and intelligence manipulation may have shaped the Manson story—and possibly the end of an era.

A riveting true-crime exposé, Chaos is a groundbreaking reexamination of one of the most disturbing chapters in American history.
