Ashes of Faith (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781931882705)

The full, horrible story of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, a Ugandan millenarian cult responsible for the largest death toll linked to a doomsday cult in recent human history. The three cult leaders, a half-insane failed politician, a defrocked Catholic priest and a former prostitute, proclaimed the end of the world on December 31, 1999 as a message from the Virgin Mary. When the world failed to end, the disillusioned faithful demanded that their property and money be returned. Unable to quell the rising tide of unrest, the cult leaders conceived a macabre plan to permanently stifle dissenting voices. On March 17, 2000, the cult led its unsuspecting followers through a literal baptism of fire. Over 550 men, women and children perished in flames as they waited for their salvation from a sinful world. Subsequent investigations uncovered a series of mass graves, bringing the total killed to over a thousand.
