The kidnapping of Patty Hearst in 1974 by the Symbionese Liberation Front - a rag-tag, cult-like group of political extremists and criminals - stole headlines across the globe. But then Patty appeared to join her captors, adopting a revolutionary name, Tania, and taking part in a crime spree across California. Why she did what she did, and what happened next, has fascinated the world ever since.
A New York Times Bestseller
"The abduction and subsequent radicalization of Patricia Hearst is one of the most bizarre but illuminating episodes of that tumultuous era of protest...and in American Heiress Jeffrey Toobin retells the story with a full-blown narrative treatment that may astonish readers too young to remember it themselves...Toobin spins this complex chapter of recent history into an absorbing and intelligent page-turner."
The Washington Post
"[A] clever companion piece to The Run of His Life (1996), his book about the O. J. Simpson case. Mr. Toobin has used the same winning formula of delving deeply into an American crime story that had tremendous notoriety in its day and retelling it with new resonance. Ms. Hearst s tale is much more bizarre than Mr. Simpson s... [I]n an age of terrorism, the chronicle of how a sedate heiress named Patricia morphed into a gun-toting, invective-spouting revolutionary calling herself Tania holds a definite fascination."
Janet Maslin, The New York Times
[R]iveting American Heiress is a page-turner certainly, but Toobin, a gifted writer, infuses it with much more Even if he ridicules the ideas and condemns the violent deeds of this ragtag group of revolutionary wannabes, they emerge not as cardboard villains but flesh and blood protagonists.
The Boston Globe
Toobin has crafted a book for the expert and the uninitiated alike, a smart page-turner that boasts a cache of never-before-published details...Toobin s book successfully captures the unrivaled spectacle of the Hearst drama.
San Francisco Chronicle
Terrifically engrossing Toobin uses his knowledge of the justice system and his examination of the evidence to pierce the veil of spectacle As for Patty Hearst herself, Toobin treats her as a person, not a tabloid phantasm.
New York Times Book Review
[A] spell-binding retelling In the end the real test of a writer s worth is how well they can tell a story that s already been told many times before by many different people, including in this case by some of the main characters themselves. By that standard Toobin gets an A-plus for American Heiress Everything about this book feels right: the structure, the style and the tone, which is the New Yorker meets Raymond Chandler. As always with great writing, it comes down to a strong, distinctive narrative voice spiced with the judicious use of juicy details.
