-Titulo Original : Inside Scientology The Story Of Americas Most Secretive Religion
-Fabricante :
HarperOne
-Descripcion Original:
Based on five years of research, access to confidential documents, and extensive interviews with current and former Scientologists, Janet Reitman sheds some long-awaited light on the ever-elusive religion of the Church of Scientology. Scientology, created in 1954 by pulp science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, claims to be the world’s fastest growing religion, with millions of members and huge financial holdings. Celebrity believers keep its profile high. Teams of volunteer ministers offer aid at disaster sites like Haiti and the World Trade Center. But Scientology is also a very closed faith, harassing journalists and others through litigation and intimidation, even infiltrating high levels of the government to further its goals. Its attacks on psychiatry and its requirement that believers pay as much as tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for salvation have drawn scrutiny and skepticism. Ex-members use the internet to share stories of harassment and abuse. Reitman offers the first full journalistic history of the Church of Scientology in an even-handed account that establishes the truth about the controversial religion. She traces Scientology’s development from the birth of Dianetics to today, following its metamorphosis from a pseudoscientific self-help group to a global spiritual corporation with profound control over its followers and ex-followers. This is a defining book about a little-known world. Review A New York Times Notable Book [A] meticulously compiled expose, culled from hundreds of interviews with active Scientologists and defectors alike. [Reitmans] revelations - including abuse allegations against church leader David Miscavige and details about the organizations aggressive courtship of Tom Cruise - come with impressive backup. - Entertainment Weekly A serious, painstaking investigation of the organizations unique structure and bare-knucled business acumen. - GQ In a new book, Inside Scientology: The Story of Americas Most Secret Religion, author Janet Reitman tell the fascinating history of the mysterious organization and its members. - Time The most complete picture of Scientology so far. -Garry Wills, New York Times Book Review Reitmans book delivers all it promises, and it promises a lot… [Reitman] has put together the most masterfully written, narratively rewarding, and thorough yarn about L. Ron Hubbard, David Miscavige, and Scientology and its strange past, present, and possible future….In Inside Scientology, we have a thorough, brave journalist backed by a major publisher, and soon what no doubt will be a major publicity push: Reitmans book should soon become Scientologys biggest headache in years. - Village Voice This book is fearless - Wall Street Journal [A] meaty, engaging new book -Slate [A] meticulously researched history and revealing expose, a frightening portrait of a religion that many find not just controversial, but dangerous…Throughout the book, the author displays consummate journalistic skills. Her accumulation of evidence is particularly impressive and gives rise to one of the more memorable works of investigative nonfiction in recent years.- Boston Globe A well-researched and compelling read - Los Angeles Times [A] richly narrative history of the organization… The book is convincing and compelling. It will be interesting to see how the Scientology leadership responds. - St Louis Post Dispatch So most journalistic accounts of Scientology fall into two categories: ax-grinding expose or fawning apologism. Fortunately Janet Reitman finds a third way in her authoritative, absorbing Inside Scientology: nuanced reporting that lets the facts speak for themselves...Inside Scientology will remain a thoughtful, fair-minded record of its tumultuous first generation. - San Francisco Chronicle Inside Scientology is a masterful piece of reporting....a compelling introduction to America’s most secretive religion, a
