    About this audiobook

    Howard Hughes was one of the most amazing, intriguing, and controversial figures of the 20th century. He was the billionaire head of a giant corporation, a genius inventor, an ace pilot, a matinee-idol-handsome playboy, a major movie-maker who bedded a long list of Hollywood glamour queens, a sexual sultan with a harem of teenage consorts, a political influencer with intimate ties to Watergate, a Las Vegas kingpin, and, ultimately, a bizarre recluse whose final years and shocking death were cloaked in mystery. Until now, few people have been able to penetrate the wall of secrecy that concealed this complex man. In this revelation-packed biography, the full story of one of the most daring, enigmatic, and reclusive power brokers America has ever known is finally told.

      This was a fascinating bio on Howard Hughes. Appendices including timeline of his life, photocopies of documents mentioned within, and other original documents pertaining to Hughes would have been helpful. Chapters dart around; dividing it into chronological parts or focusing on different aspects of Howard Hughes persona in separate sections (e.g. contributions to aviation, womanizing, film, etc.) may have made this book read a little better.
