      abstract = {Scientology is one of the wealthiest and most powerful new  religions to emerge in the past century. To its detractors,  L. Ron Hubbard's space-age mysticism is a moneymaking scam  and sinister brainwashing cult. But to its adherents, it is  humanity's brightest hope. Few religious movements have  been subject to public scrutiny like Scientology, yet much  of what is written about the church is sensationalist and  inaccurate. Here for the first time is the story of  Scientology's protracted and turbulent journey to  recognition as a religion in the postwar American  landscape.},
