Acknowledgments
from the First Edition
My particular thanks are due to my three good friends Mitch
Beedie, Lawrence Kristiansen and George Shaw. Mitch Beedie has been a constant
source of encouragement, support and editorial insight throughout six years of
research and writing. Lawrence Kristiansen has proved to be an invaluable
resource, sharing freely his knowledge and understanding of Scientology. His meticulous
research, and his painstaking editing, helped me to focus ever more closely on
the subject matter. George Shaw also signed up as an unpaid (and exceptional)
researcher, gave me the benefit of his considerable knowledge of Scientology,
and provided fascinating perspectives on Hubbard’s character and motives.
This book is based upon statements made by over 150
individuals whether in interviews, correspondence, taped talks, published
accounts, affidavits or sworn testimony. Those of my sources whose statements
were made publicly, and those who have given permission, are named in the
reference summary. I am grateful to them and to the many people who have asked
to remain anonymous for reasons which the book should make clear.
In return for access to my manuscript, and my collaboration
as a consultant, Russell Miller made his interview notes available to me, and
for this and our friendly working relationship I am most grateful.
I also wish to express my thanks to Dave Walters and the
staff of the Montana Historical Society; to Ron Neuman for access to his collection
of Hubbard letters and first editions; and to Brenda Yates and Carol Kanda for
ensuring that I received the 28 volumes of the transcript of the Armstrong
case. Without Brenda these vital documents would not have become available in
the first place.
