Why do you say that?
Most Manson scholars and biographers have held he was way off on the motive angle. I love Bugliosi and that book is great. But it is more an account of the trial and the steps taken to convict. The whole "Helter Skelter" motive was slapped together by Vince because he knew the jury would ask why and he didn't really know. I think Guinn gets to the real reason in his book and the more practical one, which is all about a record deal and a drug deal.
