A National Bestseller From New Yorker staff writer and bestselling author of The Nine and The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson, the definitive account of the kidnapping and trial that defined an insane era in American history On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, a sophomore in college and heiress to the Hearst Family fortune, was kidnapped by a ragtag group of self-styled revolutionaries calling itself the Symbonese Liberation Army. The weird turns that followed in this already sensational take are truly astonishing--the Hearst family tried to secure Patty's release by feeding the people of Oakland and San Francisco for free; bank security cameras captured "Tania" wielding a machine gun during a roberry; the LAPD engaged in the largest police shoot-out in American history; the first breaking news event was broadcast live on telelvision stations across the country; and then there was Patty's circuslike trial, filled with theatrical courtroom confrontations and a dramatic last-minute reversal, after which the term "Stockholm syndrome" entered the lexicon. Ultimately, the saga highlighted a decade in which America seemed to be suffering a collective nervous breakdown. American Heiress portrays the electrifying lunacy of the time and the toxic mic of sex, politics, and violence that swept up Patty Hearst and captivated the nation.

The qualities that make San Francisco TV newscaster Baker a good reporter (besting both the police and the FBI on the Patricia Hearst kidnap case) are just the things that make her book so abrasive. To her credit, though, Baker was the first to piece together the story of the SLA: the identity of Cinque, a prison escapee named Donald DeFreeze; Nancy Ling Perry as Fahizah; Patricia Soltysik, Mizmoon, later Zoya; Willie Wolfe, Cujo whom Patty on the last tape professed to love; and the others who formed the cult of the seven-headed cobra.

In 1975, one year after Patty Hearst and her captors robbed Hibernia National Bank, a second kidnapping took place far from the glare of the headlines. Virginia Holman's mother, in the thrall of psychosis, spirited her two daughters to a cottage on the Virginia Peninsula, painted the windows black, and set up the house as a MASH unit for a secret war. A war that never came. The family -- captive to her mother's schizophrenia and a legal system that refused to intervene -- remained there for more than three years. "What sets this book apart," the Hartford Courant observed, "is Virginia's voice...brave, smart, tough." Reviewers nationwide have praised Holman's "riveting," "endearing," and "wryly humorous" story of a young girl caught in the whirlwind of madness -- a girl who chooses a brainwashed heiress as her role model. Holman's memoir vividly and brilliantly evokes the interior worlds of the sane and the insane and the delicate membrane in between. An essential exploration of identity, captivity, and love, Rescuing Patty Hearst will inspire readers' faith in the resilience of one family's spirit to survive and thrive even in the direst of circumstances.

It was a story so bizarre it defied belief: in April 1974, twenty-year-old newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst robbed a San Francisco bank in the company of members of the Symbionese Liberation Army—who had kidnapped her a mere nine weeks earlier. But the robbery—and the spectacular 1976 trial that ended with Hearst’s criminal conviction—seemed oddly appropriate to the troubled mood of the nation, an instant exemplar of a turbulent era. With Patty’s Got a Gun, the first substantial reconsideration of Patty Hearst’s story in more than twenty-five years, William Graebner vividly re-creates the atmosphere of uncertainty and frustration of mid-1970s America. Drawing on copious media accounts of the robbery and trial—as well as cultural artifacts from glam rock to Invasion of the Body Snatchers—Graebner paints a compelling portrait of a nation confused and frightened by the upheavals of 1960s liberalism and beginning to tip over into what would become Reagan-era conservatism, with its invocations of individual responsibility and the heroic. Trapped in the middle of that shift, the affectless, zombielike, “brainwashed” Patty Hearst was a ready-made symbol of all that seemed to have gone wrong with the sixties—the inevitable result, some said, of rampant permissiveness, feckless elitism, the loss of moral clarity, and feminism run amok. By offering a fresh look at Patty Hearst and her trial—for the first time free from the agendas of the day, yet set fully in their cultural context—Patty’s Got a Gun delivers a nuanced portrait of both an unforgettable moment and an entire era, one whose repercussions continue to be felt today.

After a startling truth is revealed in her mother’s last words, Catha Kinsolving Burke finds herself swept into the extravagant world of the legendary Hearst castle, San Simeon, as she tries to fill in the gaps of the real-life mysterious death of seventy-year-old Hollywood producer Thomas Ince. During the carefree years after World War I and the Great Depression, Hollywood and California’s Gold Coast became a mecca for the world’s greatest stars. Taking the lavish lifestyle of the Roaring Twenties for all it was worth, Newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst built a castle, known as San Simeon, by the sea for his Hollywood mistress, Marion Davis. For years, San Simeon was the playground for the rich and famous, until the mysterious death of Hollywood producer Thomas Ince aboard Hearst’s luxury steam yacht put an end to the whimsical and worriless party lifestyle at the castle. Even Heart’s own newspapers could not prevent the coverage of the night that detailed the illegal drunken behavior, sexual excesses, and jealous rage that led up to the supposed murder of Ince at San Simeon. After her mother’s deathbed words send her into a world of false accusations and the mysteries of the Roaring Twenties, Catha Kinsolving Burke, an associate professor of history at Occidental College, sets off to investigate the death of Thomas Ince and uncover the true story of what happened that night at San Simeon in this thrilling mystery based on true events.
