American Heiress

Comprehensive but somewhat dry story of the Patty Hearst kidnapping. I was a young teenager at the time and somewhat caught up in the drama but not terribly concerned with the details, and this fills in a lot of blanks. Toobin isn't shy about making his opinion known about Patty's innocence or guilt, which stands in stark contradiction to Hearst's autobiography. Favorite part - finding out that a sportswriter who played a small part in hiding the fugitive Hearst was BFFs with basketball star/sportscaster Bill Walton.
