Very much enjoyed this well-researched telling of the events surrounding the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. I've read a bit about her before, so I already knew the basics, but Toobin added new information to my understanding. That said, I think his position about Hearst's role in the SLA and her motivation in joining them shows, and I didn't see it as entirely as fact with no opinion. Even so, it's a fascinating part of the counter-culture history of the 70's with lots for readers to think about
