Squeaky : The Life & Times Of Lynette Alice Fromme - Runaway

Rating:
Summary: A riveting account of a bizarre chapter in American history.
Review: With meticulous detail Bravin reconstructs the extraordinary life of Lynette "Squeeky" Fromme the would-be presidential assassin, from her suburban Southern California upbringing to her role as a central figure in the notorious Manson family. The book sheds new light on Fromme's background(including highschool friendship with recently murdered Phil Hartman), her motivation, and is cause for a serious reconsideration of her conviction for attempting to shoot Gerald Ford. Bravin's writing is subtle yet persuasive.
