Publisher's Synopsis
L.Ron Hubbard published his "Dianetics - the Modern Science of Mental Health" in 1950. Shortly afterwards he founded the Church of Scientology, a religion which could, he claimed, cure 70 per cent of illnesses. Hubbard quickly became a multi-millionaire but his methods, particularly his alleged use of brainwashing, led to investigations in and exile from Britain, Australia and the USA.;The history of Hubbard's early years has always been shrouded in mystery, and for the last few years of his life Hubbard was said to have become a Howard Hughes-like recluse.
