Jesus Crucified Again, This Time in Ronald Reagan's America

This special selection of discourses reveals the amazing details behind the demise of Osho's commune in America and his persecution by the US government. Here is a city under siege, innocent people not being tolerated because of the success of a lifestyle that threatens the status quo, and a plot to destroy a living enlightened master. Substantiated with chapters by attorneys, doctors, and law enforcement officers, this book is a passionate indictment of the hypocrisy of American "democracy."
