American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst by Jeffrey Toobin

4.0

I really enjoy Jeffrey Toobin’s writing. I have also read The Run of His Life and in both of these books he does an excellent job at placing the events at hand in their historical context. These crimes don’t happen in a vacuum and Toobin’s detailed research really helps provide readers with a deeper understanding of why these events unfolded the way they did.

Speaking specifically about American Heiress, it’s a mind-boggling story about which I knew very little and truly enjoyed learning about. Buckle up because you’re in for a wild ride.
