Of big-screen names today, Tom Cruise is one of the biggest. His increasingly brilliant and mature performances in films such as Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Eyes Wide Shut and Minority Report have kept him at the top of his game. And yet there is so much about this elusive character that the fans do not know. In this biography, Wensley Clarkson promises to reveal the truth about his involvement with the Church of Scientology, the controversial beliefs that masked a secret political ambition, the real reason he and Nicole Kidman adopted children and the excruciating truth about their break up.
