Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jim Jones reads from a somewhat-dated book about the history, climate and physical geography of Guyana. While there is some crowd noise and one or two interactions with people in it, Jones does not deviate significantly from the text before him, and his own editorial content focuses on how much the country has improved under a socialist government since the writing of the book, and in particular, how much the own community exemplifies that progress. There are only a handful of times when he specifically relates what\u2019s going on in Jonestown to the reading.<\/p>\n
