This is a split review. On the one hand, the book is well researched (despite Patty Hearst's refusal to talk to the author), well written and eminently readable and recounts with great style an era that many of us have forgotten about -- tremendous social unrest, violence, and what could well pass for mass hysteria. On the other, when I finished it my overall reaction was "so what"? The book doesn't really draw any conclusions about the times; it observes and no more. And even though the book and Mr. Toobin (in various post-publication interviews) make it pretty clear that he thinks she knew exactly what she was doing (i.e., she was not a victim of the "Stockholm Syndrome" and did what she did knowingly and willingly), it leaves the reader with a resounding "so what".There is no broader social/political analysis or any sort of analysis of how a wealthy young woman was able, through intelligence and the ability to be highly manipulative, to get away with lots of things that most people could not get away with. As a result, the book seems more like a mildly bad dream than a social history. It also leaves me with questions about why Mr. Toobin wrote the book. Did he think it would make him lots of money (which it surely has) or fame (which he already has)? Did he hope to find a justification for it all? If so, at the risk of becoming a character in his own book, it might have helped to explain why he bothered with it in the first place.I give it five stars for the writing, research and readability but three for "value".
I was 21 when Patty Hearst was kidnapped, and I embraced her story until her commutation. I read everything I could find about it; and was convinced she had been brainwashed as her lawyer claimed. But, through Toobin's exquisite writing, I began to see an entirely different story unfolding. Toobin sticks to the facts; and it is the facts that tell the truth. The book reads like a suspense novel. I couldn't put it down. There is much more I can say, but won''t; because I don't want to be the spoiler. I highly recommend it.
Most people who were around in the mid-1970's will remember the kidnapping of Patty Hearst by a hapless band of revolutionary players, the Symbionese Liberation Army. This group, whose main members were - as Jeffrey Toobin puts it in his new book, "American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst" - as differentiated as a fox-hole in a war-time movie. There was the black revolutionary - "Cinque" or Donald DeFreeze - the white revolutionaries - Emily and William Harris, the gay revolutionaries - Camilla Hall and Patricia Soltysik, and various, other hangers-on. The SLA was a group of urban guerillas, who seemed determined to wreck the system, but were stymied on what to put in it's place.And who was Patricia Hearst? As Toobin describes her, she was the heiress to a fortune but was sort of drifting through life, so far. The daughter of mismatched parents, she was the middle of five daughters, raised by her mother to aim for the conventional wealthy woman's life - marriage to an eligible man and a life raising children of her own. In stark contrast to the free-living members of the SLA, Hearst at 19 was living with a much older man - Steven Weed - in a married-like life, while studying at the Berkeley campus of the University of California. On the night of February 4, 1974, Patricia Hearst was kidnapped from the town house in Berkeley by the SLA and forcibly turned into a "revolutionary" by her kidnappers. Or, did she join in the ensuing mayhem willingly?There began an almost two year spree by the SLA, with Hearst - now called "Tania" - as an active participant. Bank robberies, shootouts, and blackmailing for food distributions to the poor were all part of mid-1970's in San Francisco and Los Angeles. This group - which literally and thankfully couldn't shoot too straight - made headlines. I can still remember where I was when I heard Patricia Hearst had been found and rescued. But what was she rescued from? And what was her role in the SLA's crime spree?Author and attorney Jeffrey Toobin does an excellent job in relating the people, the times, and the effects this rag-tag group - with its "prize" member - had on California and society at large in those years. Hearst has now became the settled society matron her mother had groomed her to be, raising daughters and prize-winning dogs. The others who are still alive are living with various degrees of revolutionary fervor. His book is beautifully written with much less sensationalism than you might expect on the subject.
