Book Reviews of Patty's Got a Gun: Patricia Hearst in 1970s America
Book Review: Fascinating read; insightful analysis
Summary: 5 Stars
Graebner has a wonderfully engaging style. The book tells the still amazing story of Patty's abduction, ordeal, and trial. But more than that, the author then gives a compelling analysis of people's reactions to Patty's story in terms of the cultural history of the time. His insights into the psychology of identity are sophisticated, but these sections nevertheless read like a novel. Graebner has an amazing ability to make the cultural analysis just as exciting as the kidnapping. I highly recommend it.
