Under the Banner Of Heaven a Reading by Mitt Romney

Krakauer admits he wanted to describe how today's LDS Church, with their clean-cut, do-good approach, is at odds with its founding history.


 The negative reviews of this book appear to come from LDS members who are unhappy with Krakauer's history of their church. It's a pity they 
missed his important points on the danger of revealed religion (where anyone can justify anything)

 This is an extraordinary book, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Though the Mormon Church has expressed it's hostility toward the book, as with all ostriches, they are simply sticking their head in the sand and asking the rest of us to follow suit. Thank goodness for people outside the Church who look in, and tell us what they see.
