DROSNIN, MICHAEL Citizen Hughes.
New York Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1985 Hard Cover
522 pages, facsimiles, cloth, dust jacket, very good. From the dj, 'At the height of his wealth, power and invisibility, Howard Hughes kept what amounted to a diary. During the four years he made his Last Stand in Las Vegas, Hughes commanded his empire by correspondence, scrawling thousands of handwritten memos to unseen henchmen. It was the only time in his entire life that the world's most secretive man regularly risked writing down his orders, plans, thoughts, fears and desires. Hughes himself deemed the papers so sensitive - 'the very most confidential, almost sacred information as to my very innermost activities' - that not even his most trusted aides were allowed to keep the messages he sent them. But in the early morning hours of June 5, 1964, unknown burglars staged a daring break-in at the billionaire's supposedly impregnable headquarters and escaped with the hidden files. Despite a top secret FBI investigation and a million-dollar CIA buy-back bid, none of the stolen papers was ever found - until author Michael Drosnin cracked the case. In Citizen Hughes he reveals for the first time the true story of the Great Hughes Heist and presents for the first time the stolen Hughes secrets. Based on nearly 10,000 previously unpublished internal documents of the Hughes empire -including more than 3,000 pages of the billionaire's own handwritten memoranda - this book reveals Hughes as he's never been revealed before: beyond question, beyond doubt, not through the eyes of others, but in his own blunt words. Citizen Hughes, however, is far more than a biography or even an unwilling autobiography. It is a startling record of the secret history of our times, the Pentagon Papers of the private sector, the Watergate tapes from the other side of the ledger. With a cast of characters including Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, and the Kennedys, it tells how one man boldly set out to buy the government of the United States - and instead helped bring it down. It uncovers the world beyond Watergate, revealing how the strange fatal attraction between Nixon and Hughes led directly, perhaps inevitably, to the break-in and the president's downfall.'
