Summary

Jon Atack is one of the biggest names in the ex-scientology community, known for his work A Piece of Blue Sky, which in 1990 was pretty groundbreaking in exposing the founder of Scientology. Since then, Jon has gone on to write many books about the ways that people are swayed and brought in by cults.
