The author does a splendid job in recreating the events as well as allowing the reader to get inside the head of the people who actually believed it to be an honor to murder others. However, the author believes it had more to do with the murderers being cowards afraid of anyone who might fight back.) Taking place over several months, the killers took several lives and wounded others in their barbaric attempt to win Death Angel wings. (One received more credit for slaying a child or woman than a man supposedly because it would take more fortitude to do it. This dubious honor was given to any "true believer" who murdered a certain number of white children, white women, or white men, or a combination of the three. This spree, committed by black members of an offshoot of the Muslim religion, was done in an attempt for the murderers to win "Death Angel" status. This book recounts the horrifying crime spree known as the Zebra killings that happened in the Bay Area in the early 1970's. 5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling Tale of Mass Murder and Savagery, January 14, 2004
