11. Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer -- The purpose of this book was to discuss religious extremism, not in the Middle East, but here in North America. This book describes the history of the Mormon Church and how the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints split off from the main church in Salt Lake City. It also talks about the FLDS belief systems, enclaves in places such as Bountiful and Colorado City and their oppression of women, the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, and the murder of Brenda and Erica Lafferty by two FLDS members.
