The weird turns that followed in this already sensational take are truly astonishing--the Hearst family tried to secure Patty's release by feeding the people of Oakland and San Francisco for free; bank security cameras captured \"Tania\" wielding a machine gun during a roberry; the LAPD engaged in the largest police shoot-out in American history; the first breaking news event was broadcast live on telelvision stations across the country; and then there was Patty's circuslike trial, filled with theatrical courtroom confrontations and a dramatic last-minute reversal, after which the term \"Stockholm syndrome\" entered the lexicon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUltimately, the saga highlighted a decade in which America seemed to be suffering a collective nervous breakdown. \u003ci\u003eAmerican Heiress\u003c\/i\u003e portrays the electrifying lunacy of the time and the toxic mic of sex, politics, and violence that swept up Patty Hearst and captivated the nation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJEFFREY TOOBIN is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Nine\u003c\/i\u003e, for which he won the J.
