One-paragraph description
In 1978, nine hundred and eighteen people lined up in a jungle clearing and drank poison because a man had convinced them that loyalty to him was the same as loyalty to God. Today, the cup is still being passed. In Who's Drinking the Kool-Aid?: Jonestown Revisited, preacher and entrepreneur Leroy Godfrey Jr. walks modern America — the courts, the maps, the feeds, the ballot box — through one unflinching question: does this actually make sense? Pouring from both pitchers and weighing red cup and blue cup on the same scale, it is the sermon America needs before it takes another sip.
Sample interview questions
1. You say Jonestown was not about stupid people. What was it about?
2. The book judges both parties on one scale. Which chapter cost you the most to write?
3. What does “put the cup down” look like on an ordinary Tuesday?
4. The title was born at a table in the White House. Tell that story.
5. What do you say to readers certain that only the other side drinks?
