About This Item
First Edition, first printing.
380 p.; illustrated (some colour).
Rare first edition hardcover, gray with red gilt lettering to spine, shows very minor edgewear to spine and small indents to ffep, but otherwise Near Fine and illustrated with 16 pages of photographic images (some colour). Dust jacket shows very minor shelfwear (mainly edgewear) but is otherwise Near Fine.
From the dust jacket:
She was a talented young actress, a Golden Globe nominee for her work in Valley of the Dolls, and the beautiful young wife of Roman Polanski. The gruesome murders on August 9, 1969, of Sharon Tate, her unborn child, and four others at the hands of the notorious "Manson family" rocked the nation. The atrocities, as well as the trial and subsequent conviction of Charles Manson and his followers, spawned a media frenzy including books, movies, and documentaries. A defining moment in an era otherwise associated with radical peace, love, and understanding, this event still resonates with millions today.
But while this crime left an indelible mark on society's consciousness, it was an even more shattering tragedy for Sharon's loving family. Now, after nearly forty years, their riveting story is finally revealed.
Compiled by close family friend Alisa Statman and Sharon's niece Brie Tate. Restless Souls draws on a wealth of material never before available to the public, including interviews with the Tates, personal letters, tape recordings, home movies, private journal entries, and official documents to provide a powerful and affecting four-decade, three-generation memoir of crime, punishment, anguish, hope, rage, and love that is both a chronicle of death and a celebration of life.
Extending beyond all previous reports and correcting years of media misinformation, Restless Souls includes such remarkable details as:
• the dramatic role Sharon's father, P.J., a retired army intelligence officer, played in finding his daughter's murderers
• the reaction P.J. had when he came face-to-face—alone—with Sharon's convicted killer in a holding room during a parole hearing
• the menacing threats that extended beyond prison walls, haunting the Tates for generations after the murders
• the fight Sharon's mother, Doris, mounted to ensure the rights of victims' loved ones, particularly the right to make an impact statement at parole hearings—a legacy that has helped keep scores of dangerous criminals behind bars
• the battles Sharon's sister Patti waged with the entertainment industry to prevent artists from glorifying her sister's killers in music, art, and films
Told from the Tates' extraordinary perspective, Restless Souls offers a rare glimpse at the post-trauma survival of a family and their journey to find justice and, ultimately, peace—a glimpse that couldn't be more timely as Charles Manson comes up for parole again in 2012.
