Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Review: What an incredible life Howard Hughes' led. Glamour, high finance, intrigue, adventure, and legendary eccentricities. I found this book to be a well-written pageturner that not only chronicled a remarkable life, but told the story with passion and style. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: FUNNIEST BUSINESS BIO OF ALL TIME
Review: Without question, Hughes is the all-time funny business
biography .Howard Hughes is portrayed as an impresario clown who images himself boss of a business empire with unlimited funds .Hack sees him as a brash little kid in a candy store, ordering up blondes,aircraft,and movies on a whim without regard for the price .On the side ,Hughes buys Las Vegas,buys many politicians including Richard Nixon,raises a Russian submarine,heads up an enormous defense contracting outfit,lives a secret life as a drug addict,creates the world's biggest medical foundation,and gets colossal
public relations coverage in a compliant press.Perhaps Hughes has a double or two to keep the PR program rolling along.Start casting the movie now,with Billy Crystal as Mogul Hughes.
