Jon Atack's book I enjoyed reading back when it came out & it was most influential on me.

I look forward to his new release.

Highly suggested reading for anyone !

No, He was worn out by battling $cientology, like the old samuri movies where after a battle the hero goes off and meditates somewhere to regain his strengths then comes back to finish them.

Interesting analogy: is this the bit where he goes all Kill Bill on them? :-)

the longer you gaze at the $cientology puzzle the more pieces fit together, and Jon has been looking at this longer than I have...

Great page from Volney's book. I wonder who he was thinking of when he wrote it.

I so pleased this book is being re-released. It's the first critical book I ever read. I borrowed it from a library and had to hide it at home by stealing the book jacket from one of Hubbard's books (might have been Science of Survival) and wrapping A Piece Of Blue Sky in the jacket. It sat on our bookshelf looking very innocent from the outside .

I'll definitely be buying this book even if I never read it. John Atack deserves to reap some rewards for his important work. He is a hero to me.

Thank you, Steve and Jon! Fascinating interview.

Thank you for posting this. I don't think I would have found otherwise and the interview was filled with data and facts that I was not aware of. I shall have to read Jon Atack's new release of a piece of blue sky.

Just posted a piece on the Jon Atack's "Blue Sky" and the battle
he had to get the first version out, at Infinite Complacency.

Jon Atack is issuing an unexpurgated version of A Piece of
Blue Sky, his seminal work on the movement – a book that was
almost strangled at birth in the US courts.

The endorsement that he got from Professor Stephen Kent is incredible that you included in your article. That in alone should help sell many copies.
