About the Book

Paul H. Dunn's meteoric rise in the leadership ranks of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was propelled by stories he told about his World War II combat experiences and professional baseball career. Stories like the one about his Army buddy dying in his arms during the invasion of Okinawa, or how he won the first game he pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals at the outset of a five-year pro career. The stories Dunn told, however, were not born out of his actual experiences, but out of his vivid imagination. They were complete fabrications that were repeated over and over, from the pulpit, in books, and on audiocassettes. Dunn's self-generated stardom placed him in the circle of Mormondom's rich and famous. He hobnobbed with the likes of the singing Osmonds and authored their official biography. In the sports world he associated with pro quarterbacks Steve Young and Danny White, NBA player and team president Danny Ainge, and with baseball stars such as Wally Joyner, Vernon Law, and Dale Murphy. Dunn also counted Utah Senator Orrin Hatch as one of his close friends. As these orbits joined, a few observers irreverently called Dunn the Mormon Church's "general authority to the stars." Dunn did not end his self-promotion with the sales of books and tapes. He also lent his name to help promote failing, even fraudulent business ventures run by a variety of Mormon swindlers and con artists. This is the story behind the debunking of Dunn's stories and efforts by Dunn and fellow Mormon Church leaders to quash any news accounts about Dunn's perfidy.
