In Their Own Words: The Best Tell-All Books Written By The Socially Elite

Patty Hearst, Her Own Story

On February 4, 1974, publishing heiress Patty Hearst was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army, an urban militant group known for violence and bank robberies. In America’s most infamous case of Stockholm syndrome, the group brainwashed Ms. Hearst into joining their forces, where she abandoned her family and fortune, and assumed the new identity "Tania." Published over a decade later, this autobiography chronicles Patty Hearst’s astonishing experiences from her own point of view, a fascinating account that would later inspire the film Patty Hearst starring Natasha Richardson.
