LEGENDARY INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST JOHN SWEENEY TELLS THE STORY OF HIS EPIC CLASH WITH THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY 'A bold and swashbuckling reporter...let him shout: at least he shouts the truth' Mail on Sunday 'Gripping' The Economist *** John Sweeney investigated the Church of Scientology for more than half a decade. During that time he was intimidated, spied on, repeatedly lied to and tailed across different continents. The results were spectacular: Sweeney lost his temper with the Church's spokesman on camera and his infamous 'exploding tomato' clip was seen by millions around the world. In THE CHURCH OF FEAR Sweeney tells the full story of his experiences for the first time and paints a devastating picture of this strange organisation, from former Scientologists who tell heart-breaking stories of families torn apart and lives ruined to its current followers - including Tom Cruise and John Travolta - who say it is the solution to many of mankind's problems. This is the real story of the Church by the reporter who was brave enough to take it on. *** 'John Sweeney is an immense story-teller' Observer 'A brave book' Liverpool Daily Post 'Blackly comic' The New Humanist *** Why readers love The Church of Fear... 'I loved this... a totally believable tale of stalking and fear' 'Really explains why Scientology is a cult' 'Well-written, witty and very insightful' 'Indispensable for Scientology watchers' 'Very well written and highly recommended... a must-read'
