Description

n Moonwebs, award-winning journalist Josh Freed penetrates the complex and frightening world of modern day cults. He describes the incredible efforts made by friends to extricate their friend Benji Miller from the grasp of cult leader Sun Myung Moon. When friends and family risked thousands of dollars and criminal charges to kidnap Benji and deprogram him, author Josh Freed was with them. He conveys the terrifying power of the Unification Church by describing their harrowing brainwashing techniques. When first published Moonwebs sold 70,000 copies. Véhicule Press is pleased to bring this gripping case study, which reveals the growing political and financial empire of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, back into print.
