New York Times bestselling author and historian Jeff Guinn, who wrote definitive biographies of Charles Manson and Jim Jones, will speak at 7 p.m. Monday in the Fort Hays State University Memorial Union Ballroom.

The talk is called “Once Upon a Time in Hays,” a discussion on cultural history and political meaning of the guru, counterculture era in America.

The discussion will include lessons learned from the history and whether the tragedies associated with the forms of demagoguery point to cautions or challenges in political leadership today.

The public is invited to this free event sponsored by the FHSU Department of Political Science.
