James Jones was the founder and leader of the Peoples Temple, a religious movement that gained notoriety in the 1970s. He led a large group of followers to Jonestown, a settlement in Guyana, where they eventually committed mass suicide in November 1978, resulting in the deaths of over 900 people. Jones was known for his charismatic leadership, but also for his authoritarian control over his followers. The Jonestown tragedy remains one of the most infamous events in modern religious history.
