Ruthless

The #1 New York Times bestseller—the true story of the leader of the Church of Scientology.

“Books attacking Scientology are nothing new. But Ruthless . . . hits particularly close to home-the author’s son David Miscavige has led the church since L. Ron Hubbard died in 1986.” -The New York Times Book Review

The only book to examine the origins of Scientology's current leader, Ruthless tells the revealing story of David Miscavige's childhood and his path to the head seat of the Church of Scientology told through the eyes of his father. Ron Miscavige's personal, heartfelt story is a riveting insider's look at life within the world of Scientology.

“Recounts the Miscavige family’s experience in [Scientology], which in Ron’s view, 'has become a cult, pure and simple.'” -The Boston Globe

“Compulsively readable. . . . Feels as if it was written more in sorrow than in anger.” -LA Weekly
