Patty's Got a Gun - Patricia Hearst in 1970s America

Zusammenfassung Reconsidering Patricia Hearst's story, this book recreates the atmosphere of uncertainty of mid-1970s America. It paints a portrait of a nation confused and frightened by the upheavals of 1960s liberalism and beginning to tip over into what would become Reagan-era conservatism, with its invocations of individual responsibility and the heroic.
