"Of all the books written about Howard Hughes, [this] is easily the best." - New York Times

"The life that inspired the major motion picture" - from the cover

Hughes was involved in nearly every aspect of American productivity from the oil fields to the movies to the airplanes involved in WWII and later commercial flying. Watergate was about stealing a file concerning his contributions.
