About the book
Inside Scientology is the defining work on the faith by the Rolling Stone journalist.? It confirms the astonishing truth about life within the controversial religion.
The book is based on confidential documents, over one hundred interviews with current and former Scientologists, and five years of research. Reitman reveals all, starting with how the singular L. Ron Hubbard transformed a self-help group into a worldwide spiritual corporation. After Hubbard?s death in 1986, a young acolyte named David Miscavige assumed control; since then, he has overseen some of the church?s greatest triumphs ? among them a controversial billion-dollar IRS tax exemption and Tom Cruise?s emergence as a vocal advocate ? while also creating a climate of fear and intimidation, according to ex-members whose stories of abuse Reitman shares. Reitman is the first to examine Miscavige?s twenty-five-year reign and what it might mean for the future of the church.
