The eponymous September of the latest history from the award-winning author of Going Clear and The Looming Tower was in 1978; the days in question were those during which President Carter met with Israeli Prime Minister Begin and Egyptian leader Sadat at Camp David. Wright reconstructs the discussions, the tensions, the hopes, and hard work that at last resulted in a peace treaty. (Knopf)

Wright examines what fundamentally makes a religion a religion, and whether Scientology is, in fact, deserving of this constitutional protection. With the thorough investigative skills that earned him a Pulitzer for The Looming Tower, his exhaustive account of 9/11, Wright has given us an evenhanded yet keenly incisive book that reveals the very essence of what makes Scientology the institution it is.
