American Heiress By Jeffrey Toobin
TRUE CRIME We can only imagine what today's 24-hour news cycle would do with a case like the 1974 kidnapping of Patty Hearst.

CNN commentator Jeffrey Toobin, who was surprised to learn that little had been written about Hearst in recent years, gathers all the evidence in this fascinating chronicle of what really happened behind the scenes.
