- The kidnapping of the newspaper heiress Patty Hearst by the previously obscure Symbionese Liberation Army was one of the defining events of the 1970s. This was the story that introduced us to the Stockholm syndrome and was the first breaking news event to be broadcast live on nationwide TV. Toobin, a New Yorker staff writer, senior legal analyst for CNN, and author of books on law and justice, including The Run of His Life, draws on hundreds of interviews and new archival documents for this detailed recounting of Hearst’s abduction, her renunciation of her former life, and her trial for bank robbery.

He whips it out around minute 37.
After this reading he went to the cook book section and whipped up his toobin special sauce
I've been bothered for years by the lack of focus on the Marcus Foster murder. It's always treated as a footnote. Not only was it a tragedy for Dr. Foster's family, it was a tragedy for the Oakland school system. If Dr. Foster had lived, he might have made meaningful improvements to public education in Oakland. As it was, the Oakland schools continued to lurch from one crisis to the next.
Marcus Foster was a very respected educator who DID make meaningful contributions to the school system. He was a liberal and worked against racism all his life. His assassination was bizarre. He was never "an enemy of the people."
Jeffery Toobin 110 ways to jack for the crowd
This book is amazing. I read the entire book with the aid of a flashlight for four days thanks to Hurricane Hermine. Toobin leaves nothing to chance. I remember the evening Patty Hearst was kidnapped as I heard it on the CBS Evening news. I was only a few years older then Patty Hearst so I was intrigued from the start. All these years later I'm still fascinated by the whole event and the way it unfolded. Toobin has does an excellent job of answering many of the questions that have remained all these years later. It appears as if the crowd to whom he was speaking have not read the book as they seemed to laugh at inappropriate times. That being said, g
reat job Jeffrey!!
Michael Hiatt Ryan Murphy should’ve acquired the book for American crime story
He left something to chance. He let Little Richard loose on Zoom.
Good book. One thing I learned was that in Guyana they drank Flavor Aid, not Kool Aid. I'm surprised Toobin made that mistake.
The zoom dangler speaks
They went to the sporting goods store to buy camping equipment because they were going to start living outdoors in the woods, this was the plan. They were buying heavy socks and rain gear and stuff like that.
Great book, great bloke, great event.
My auto play brought me here. I’ve never watched a book signing online but this was amazingly interesting.
you should have seen him on zoom ..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed this .. Nicely done
I don’t know if anybody who is reading this has been a victim of kidnapping but I have. It is a terrifying experience. I bolted from my kidnappers and despite their guns, I lived. So I was not in a closet for 10 weeks. I don’t think people realize just how fragile the mind is. It is easy to judge Patricia Hearst without experiencing what she went through. There is not one word from her. She wrote about Toobin threatening her if she didn’t cooperate in being interviewed. Instead he goes by the word of a kidnapper and one of her captors for information. Tired book with little information other than his theories.
"Was Patty Hearst a brainwashed victim or a willing participant in the crimes of the SLA?"
Yes.
Bye bye Toobin M. Morality
I saw a documentary about Hearst on CNN and Toobin was spot on correct. It all made sense and I agree with him. He connected the dots along with tons of others who were there with Hearst at this time. It was a documentary mini series called The Radical Story of Patty Hearst (2018).
If you want to text or play with your phone, I suggest you not sit in the first row. How rude!
Plus, he crowds in and pushes that lady out of the way.
Movies about the Hearst family are the best movies.
Well, to be fair, only Citizen Kane.
snappycatchy there’s a new one coming
I never knew Cinque escaped. All these years I'd wondered who the hell ever let him out of prison in the 70s - much like Manson in the 60s.
He may have been allowed to escape because he simply walked away. He had been trained to operate some sort of steam boiler and he was doing this at night all alone with no guard. He simply walked out of the building and hopped a fence.
Yeah, it’s a shame this guy is a creep.
I was a kid in 74 always did wonder about that whole story guess this fulfills the basic deal funny how it still leaves me w alot of questions tho (guess i should read the book)...maybe !
This bloke is twisting the truth wildly !
I wouldn't know who he was except for the scandal. Now I want to see the video. Give the man a break, but you know, lemme see...
It's unfair to say Steven weed ran off. While being held at gunpoint he jumped up and started running around the room screaming trying to make a scene and get some attention, one of the SLA members then hit him in the head with a rifle which either momentarily knocked him out or at least settled him down quite a bit.
When is Toobin going to pull out his knob
He’ll slap it down on the table at a business meeting soon. He pulled it out at the virtual meeting, he’ll pull it out at the in-person meeting.
Fascinating research and interpretation, but as a person actually from the Bay and having previously worked in San Quentin, Vacaville is pronounced, “vack-uh-vihl” not “vuhck-uh-vihl,” but thanks for atleast pronouncing Daly City correctly:)
MY STEPDADS COUSIN WAS KILLED BY THE ZODAC KILLER SHE WAS WITH HER BOYFRIEND AT THE LAKE
Sorry for your lost
actually it was Flavor Aid.
Guessing that the feature film based on Toobin's book is DOA.
Wonder how much he made on sale of the rights to the book -
Mr Pinto right there^
DeFreese sounds kinda like Manson. These prisons aren't giving us their best people.
Mr Musterbating
Jeffrey WACK on CNN bahaha
He is real men who are not afraid to show his stuff
Toobin is a weiner wannabe. Zoom..zoom
