Unholy
“In terrifying detail, Unholy illustrates how a vast network of white Christian nationalists plotted the authoritarian takeover of the American democratic system. There is no more timely book than this one.”—Janet Reitman, author of Inside Scientology Why did so many evangelicals turn out to vote for Donald Trump, a serial philanderer with questionable conservative credentials who seems to defy Christian values with his every utterance? To a reporter like Sarah Posner, who has been covering the religious right for decades, the answer turns out to be far more intuitive than one might think. In this taut inquiry, Posner digs deep into the radical history of the religious right to reveal ...

The Best American Magazine Writing 2007
Showcases articles written by a variety of journalists judged as finalists or winners in a contest sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors, and addresses topics ranging from reporting to feature writing.
The Price of Silence
A Duke alumnus whose work has been hailed as “authoritative” (The Washington Post), “seductively engrossing” (Chicago Tribune), “riveting” (The Economist), and “masterful” (Los Angeles Times), presents a stunning new account of the infamous Duke lacrosse team case. Despite it being front-page nationwide news, the true story of the Duke lacrosse team rape case has never been told in its entirety. It is more complex and profound than all the reporting to date would indicate. The Price of Silence is the definitive account of what happens when the most combustive forces in American culture—unbridled ambition, intellectual elitism, athletic prowess, sexual and racial bias, and absolute prosecutorial authority—collide and then explode on a powerful university campus, in the justice system, and in the media. Deeply reported and brilliantly written, The Price of Silence shines a bright light on the ever-widening gap between America’s rich and poor, and how the powerful protect themselves, even at the price of justice.
Summary of Janet Reitman's Inside Scientology
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Lafayette Ron Hubbard was a prolific writer of science fiction and fantasy, as well as an amateur explorer, magician, and hypnotist. He came up with an alternative to psychotherapy called Dianetics, and became famous. He lost everything within a year. #2 Hubbard had a love of adventure and a fascination with the sea. He grew up listening to the stories told by the men in his father's naval circles, and dreamed of commanding his own ship. He had no intention of winding up like his father, a naval supply officer. #3 By 1938, Hubbard was twenty-seven years old, and had already experienced a lot in his life. He had dropped out of college in 1932, and had spent two unimpressive years there. But he had great self-confidence, which had served him well through the Great Depression. #4 Hubbard was a very successful pulp fiction writer, and he had been in the United States Marines for seven years, an explorer on the upper Amazon for four years, a radio crooner, newspaper reporter, and gold miner in the West Indies. But his efforts did not transfer into monetary success.
