Victims: The LDS Church and the Mark Hofmann Case
商品資訊
商品簡介
Three pipe bombs exploded in Salt Lake County in 1985, killing two and wounding the assailant. Behind the murders lay a vast forgery scheme aimed at dozens of other victims, most prominently the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mark Hofmann, a master forger, went to prison for the murders. He had bilked the church, document dealers, and collectors of hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years while attempting to alter Mormon history. Other false documents of Americana created by him still circulate today. The crimes garnered intense media interest, spawning books, TV and radio programs, and myriad newspaper and magazine articles.
Victims is a thoughtful corrective to the more sensationalized accounts. More important, Richard E. Turley Jr. adds substantially to the record with previously unavailable church documentation and exclusive interviews with church officials, giving this book greater depth and resonance. He also goes beyond the Hofmann case, illustrating how forgeries have hampered the church's efforts to document its own history.
Victims includes a complete appendix of every known document the church acquired from Hofmann, reviews of trial transcripts and police reports, as well as dozens of photographs, some never before published.
Professional Reviewer
"An interesting, fast-paced, well-written account of an important event not only in the history of Mormonism but the history of the acquisition of documents in archives anywhere. Turley focuses on a particular aspect of the Hofmann affair--the church connection--and that, in doing so, he had access to materials that were unavailable to any of the other authors. This book adds to and corrects the historical record."
