Bibliography of books critical of Scientology

This is a bibliography of works critical of Scientology and the Church of Scientology.

Between 1954 and 2020, only four English-language scholarly monographs have been published about Scientology (Wallis 1977 [1976]; Whitehead 1987; Urban 2011; Westbrook 2019). Most other critical works have come in the form of apostate memoirs: books written by ex-members about their experiences within the Church of Scientology (CoS). On several occasions, the Church of Scientology has initiated copyright infringement lawsuits to restrain the publication of books critical of Scientology or its founder L. Ron Hubbard. Since 2008, the Internet has been able to provide a much safer ground for publishing material critical of the CoS, because traditional copyright law had little application there.
