Jon Atack - 1990

Atack exposes Hubbard's bizarre imagination and behavior, tracing the creation of Scientology in the years following World War II to perhaps its final schism following Hubbard's death in 1986.

A shocking book that reveals all: the abuses, falsehoods, paranoia, and greed of Hubbard and his pseudo-military Scientologist henchmen.

California Red: A Life in the American Communist Party

Dorothy Ray Healey - 1990

Dorothy Ray Healey joined the Communist party at age fourteen, in 1928, and was leader of the Los Angeles district--the second largest in the country--for over twenty years.

As a strike leader, opponent of McCarthyism, Vietnam war protestor, candidate for public office, and mentor to Angela Davis, she won fame as "a tough lady red," one of the few women to rise to Communist party leadership.

The Wrong Way Home: Uncovering the Patterns of Cult Behavior in American Society

Arthur J. Deikman - 1990

Bound to be a controversial and disturbing book, The Wrong Way Home is an eye-opening critique that forces readers to reappraise everydy life because the patterns and psychological forces at work in the most bizarre cults shape the daily live of ordinary people--in corporations, politics, psychiatry, and mainstream religions.

Deikman gives hair-raising examples of how cult-like behavior permeates our lives and threatens our freedoms.
