Lawrence Wright, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief (New York: Knopf, 2013) (From the bookjacket: "In Going Clear, Wright examines what fundamentally makes a religion a religion, and whether Scientology is, in fact, deserving of the constitutional protections achieved in its victory over the IRS." Also, see Diane Johnson. "Scientology: The Story," New York Review of Books, April 25, 2013.).
