Howard Hughes
Power, Paranoia & Palace Intrigue
by Geoff Schumacher
For all his celebrated achievements, Hughes' later years in Las Vegas - when drug addiction, bizarre behavior, and a casino buying spree dominated his days - continue to fascinate the public. Hughes quickly became Nevada's most powerful man, while his drug abuse, physical deterioration, and phobias left him profoundly troubled. Hughes left Las Vegas in 1970, abandoning the city at the height of his influence. Schumacher examines the tumultuous aftermath of Hughes' four-year Las Vegas residency. Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoia & Palace Intrigue expands our understanding of Howard Hughes, while cementing his prominent place in the history of America's most unlikely city.
