{"product_id":"escape-hal-lancaster-9780615848693","title":"Escape: My Life Long War Against Cults","description":"From the back cover: The snake stuffed in attorney Paul Morantz s mailbox by acolytes of Synanon, a once-hailed drug rehabilitation center that had devolved into a paranoid, militaristic cult, was an early strike in what would become a 35-year war with nearly every major cult movement this country has ever known. Mr. Morantz has been involved under frequently bizarre circumstances--with such infamous sects as the Charles Manson family, Patty Hearst and the SLA, Jim Jones and the People s Temple, the Moonies and the strange world of Scientology. His efforts have helped many escape from lives of torment and contributed to a sea change in how courts deal with the little-understood issues of brainwashing and cults. Now, in this important and compelling book, Mr. Morantz offers a comprehensive account of the origins and activities of cults and how they prey on society s most vulnerable elements. It also recounts the very intimate tale of how these confrontations with threatening and often, violent forces cost him the woman he loved and nearly, life itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hal Lancaster, Paul Morantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615848699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615848693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cresta Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/2014","brand":"Hal Lancaster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920376627455,"sku":"9780615848693","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_448125b9-8d8b-417d-bef8-9defba8f55bf.jpg?v=1680815047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/escape-hal-lancaster-9780615848693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
