<\/a>Season of the Witch<\/em><\/a>, written by Salon founder David Talbot and published in May 2012, is a history of San Francisco during fifteen years of turbulence between 1967 through 1982, and the political movements, social trends and cultural icons that defined the city during that period. While the book also covers such subjects as the Symbionese Liberation Army, the Zebra murders and the Zodiac Killer, Charles Manson, and Altamont, much of the book \u2013 and reviews of it \u2013 focused on Peoples Temple.<\/p>\nA three-part excerpt from the book discussing Peoples Temple appeared on the Salon<\/a> website on May.
