The Lives of L. Ron Hubbard brilliant Whether seen innovator or manipulative charlatan, Hubbard achieved extraordinary things.
Best-selling science-fiction writer, experimental scientist, inventor of the psychotherapy Dianetics and founder of a world-wide business empire based on his Church of Scientology, he was successively celebrity, fugitive and eventually a recluse.
Who was this man? Was he a true believer in his own ideas, or did he invent worlds from his imagination to make his followers pay for new revelations? And what was his relationship with his country's intelligence service?
Margaret Percy has talked to his friends and enemies, SF writers, psychiatrists, and some who knew him as a young man. Producer GRAHAM TAYAR
