Mr. Atack has written a very informative and well researched book about the Scientology Cult, exposing crimes and haressement of critics. The book gives a coherent understanding of the discussion going on in the news-group alt.religion.scientology. What is not covered though is the infamous OT III material, describing the Space Emperor Xenu and how he solved the overpopulation problem on earth some 75 million years ago. It is quite telling that scientologist often state that the book is full of errors and misconceptions, yet they fail to point these errors out. Not very surprising, as what is published in the book, fully referenced, are official Scientology documents that have appeared unchallanged in several court cases. Buy it and support a good cause (or rather buy two, and give one to a friend). And, by all means read (but don't buy) some of Hubbards works as well. You'll be amused..
