10 of the Most Shocking Books About Scientology

Published in 1971, The Scandal of Scientology is an exposé by award-winning author Paulette Cooper. Written less than 20 years after the formation of Scientology, the book examines what was, at the time, considered a "now religion." Cooper's investigation into Scientology's political ambitions, wealth, relationship with celebrities, beliefs and practices, and more prompted the church to sue various libraries and bookstores that sold the book.
