American Heiress by Jeffrey Toobin
In February 1974, when the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) kidnapped 19-year old Patty Hearst at gunpoint at 9:17 p.m. from her apartment in Berkeley, California, her life took a very different turn. The daughter from a wealthy publishing family went from having money at her disposal to being locked in a closet for several days while the self-defined SLA made their demands known through the Hearst-owned newspaper. Over the next year and a half, the kidnapping and Patty’s life as a “captive” were major news stories throughout the country.
Kidnapping of famous, wealthy Americans on American soil was uncommon and as a result, law enforcement, including the FBI, was ill prepared for this high profile case. An outdated FBI, an uncooperative public that was often anti-police, and the number of violent revolutionary groups (later identified as terrorists groups) exacerbated the successful return of Hearst. This is an excellent read about a historic kidnapping and a glimpse of life in the 1970s.
