Let's sell these people A Piece of Blue Sky: Hubbard, Dianetics and Scientology

Let’s sell these people a Piece of Blue Sky: the new, unexpurgated, unabridged version of the classic history of L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology. Exposing Hubbard’s false claims to be a war hero, a nuclear physicist, an explorer and a protege of Eastern gurus, and showing the true malevolence of Scientology.
“invaluable for its history and insight into the character of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.”
—Lawrence Wright, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, & the Prison of Belief

“Atack’s concise writing style and dry sense of humor make for enjoyable reading … If you only have time to read one book about L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, this landmark work is the one. It continues to stand out as the authoritative history … which is why so much of Blue Sky is re-hashed in subsequent books”
—Miles Ferguson

“Before there was the net, and before there was safety in numbers, there was Jon Atack.”
—Arnaldo Lerma

“This is the best book I have read about Scientology. Jon Atack combines personal experience with meticulous research to courageously expose the lies and abuses at the heart of the Church of Scientology.”
—Steve Cannane, ABC Lateline, Australia


“In more recent years other, newer books about Scientology have been released. A few of these have been especially good, but none reproduce the detail and narrative clarity of Atack’s book. This revised version of A Piece of Blue Sky promises to reveal even more fully the intricate machinery of fantasy, hypocrisy, lies, manipulation and abuse that are at the heart of Scientology.”
—Christian Szurko, DialogCentre UK

“Jon Atack is the definitive resource of all things “Hubbard.” … Read this book for the factual, accurate details about Scientology’s founder.”
—Steven Hassan, author Freedom of Mind

“When I first read Jon Atack's amazing book A Piece of Blue Sky it was a series of revelations … Jon's book gave me considerable relief as to what was really going on behind the facade”
—Michael Pattinson, ex-OT 8


“This book is fascinating…. and fresh. There's something interesting on every page. I've read every expose and this one is on the top of my list.”
—Paulette Cooper, author The Scandal of Scientology

“still the most reliable of the many books on the subject.”
—Tony Ortega, former editor, Village Voice

“an unrivalled piece of superb scholarship … All future scholarship on Scientology will build upon his contribution.”
—Professor Stephen Kent
