Exclusive! The Inside Story of Patricia Hearst and the SLA

Exclusive! The Inside Story of Patricia Hearst and the SLA by Baker, Marilyn and Brompton, Sally. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780025064003.

Only Marilyn Baker can tell the entire story. Here are the startling facts from the TV newswoman whose brilliant investigative reports scooped the FBI, the police, and the media on the Hearst case. Among the Baker exclusives: -UNCOVERED the membership of the SLA. -REPORTED the names of the two men who abducted Patty--two months before the FBI confirmed her report. -PINPOINTED the female leadership of the SLA. -REVEALED General Field Marshal Cinque as escaped convict Donald De Freeze, the conspiracys token black. -IDENTIFIED Patricia Soltysik (Mizmoon) as the brains behind the Symbionese Liberation Army. -INTERVIEWED Pattys former fiancé, Steven Weed, and Chris Thompson, who originally introduced several SLA members to each other. Ignoring death threats and a foiled bomb plot, Ms. Baker stalked the back alleys and Maoist communes of Berkeley and Oakland, pointing the way for police and other reporters assigned to the story. Now, Ms. Baker tells the story as she couldnt tell it on the air--the twisted story of the seven-headed cobra and the conversion of the mild apolitical heiress into the armed and dangerous Tania. As this story was written, a new threat, a death poster, appeared on buildings in the San Francisco area, demanding the immediate execution of Marilyn Baker--this time from the Black Liberation Army.
