Based on the subtitle of the book, one might expect this to be a history of the Rajneeshees and their eventual establishment of a large community in Oregon. Instead, this book is basically an autobiography of a former Rajneeshee, who does touch on some of the more infamous actions by the Rajneeshees. There is precious little detail on the salmonella poisonings in The Dalles, the political posturing in Antelope and other parts of the state, or even the anti-Rajneeshee actions such as the bombing of the Zorba the Buddha restaurant. Good for those who want to read an autobiography of someone who was in the movement, but hardly a tome about "the rise and fall of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh."
