Summary:

"Howard Hughes chronicles the life and legacies of one of the most intriguing and accomplished Americans of the twentieth century. Hughes made big-budget movies, built the world's fastest and largest airplanes, and helped transform and grow Las Vegas. He was a respected trailblazer and firebrand, but behind the facade his physical and mental health declined to the point of incapacitation. This book takes you behind the curtain to understand what really happened to Howard Hughes and what he has left behind"-- Provided by publisher.
