praise for Jon Atack’s previous work:‘This incredible book made me want to track down the author, Jon Atack, in person – and so I did, and interviewed him for my latest documentary project. His incredible breadth and knowledge of religions and belief systems turned my three-hour interrogation into one of the most fascinating discussions I’ve ever had. I recommend you find Jon Atack and buy him a drink and get him talking, but in the meantime, start with this book.’ Roger Nygard, Director, The Nature of Existence
‘Throughout my professional life, I have seen so many victims of poisonous ideologies from communism and scientology to Saddam Hussein’s “return to faith” and Al Qaeda’s “martyrdom”. In my attempts to help those sufferers, I applied a lesson learned from Jon Atack’s writings that freedom cannot be delivered, granted, or enforced. The true and complete freedom comes only with the freedom of mind and Jon Atack’s book is the best guide for all who want to achieve that freedom.’ Professor Khapta Akhmedova, expert on terrorism‘I appreciate the staggering amount of research material that Mr. Atack had to assimilate and present. He demonstrated impeccable judgment concerning his sources, and similarly he showed artistic skill in his ability to present complex … material in graceful and clear prose. Had his book been offered by a doctoral candidate … it would far exceed necessary standards … an unrivalled piece of superb scholarship. Quickly his book has become one of the classic studies of sectarianism and deviant belief systems. All future scholarship on Scientology will build upon his contribution.’ Professor Stephen Kent, Head of Sociology and History of Religion, University of Alberta‘Nobody explains more clearly how a normal, rational person can succumb to the power of group thought and control. Luckily, Jon Atack also explains how to spot undue influence and escape from its clutches, wherever it may come from.’ Jill Robinson, producer & director, The Secret Life of L. Ron Hubbard
