Description

The mystery of Patty Hearst’s transformation from a college student born into privilege to a Marxist militant wielding an M-1 carbine in a bank robbery remains as compelling as ever on the 50th anniversary of her kidnapping. 

The abduction of William Randolph Heart’s granddaughter captured America’s attention in 1974.

The saga of 19-year-old Patty Hearst pushed the impeachment of President Richard Nixon off newspaper headlines. 

Searching for Patty Hearst by journalist Roger Rapoport delves into the heart of a story that blurs the lines between victim and perpetrator, between heiress and revolutionary.

Was she a willing convert to the cause of the Symbionese Liberation Army or a young woman broken and brainwashed by her captors? 

You decide.
