Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Chief


This biography is similar to a dissertation and gives the reader a great amount of insight into the personal life and achievements of William Randolph Hearst. It reviews his early life and relationships with his family and associates, his political aspirations and so-called "friendships" with world leaders of America and Europe, and his need for power and control.
