Going Clear Signed First Edition Reference

Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief (Alfred A. Knopf, 2013) is Wright’s exhaustive investigation of the Church of Scientology — from L. Ron Hubbard’s origins as a science fiction writer through the church’s aggressive tax-exemption campaign, its celebrity recruitment, and the allegations of abuse under David Miscavige’s leadership. The book survived extensive legal scrutiny (Knopf’s lawyers fact-checked it for over a year) and was adapted into an HBO documentary.
