L. Ron Hubbard is one of the most acclaimed and widely read authors of all time. Over 120 million copies of his works have been sold in more than 32 languages, all over the world. His writing expresses a first hand knowledge of the basics of life, the mind and human ability - knowledge gained not in an ivory tower, but by living life to its fullest.

     From the open ranges of his home state of Montana to the islands of the South Pacific, from the frigid coast of Alaska to the jungles of the Caribbean, L. Ron Hubbard explored life as few have done. As a young man, he was one of the few Westerners ever granted access to remote lamaseries in the Western Hills of China. He plied the China Seas, rode with bandits in Mongolia, barnstormed across the United States and led expeditions to the West Indies. In all, he studied more than 21 primitive races including, he adds, “the white race.”
