Hughes: The Private Diaries, Memos & Letters by Richard HackMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hughes was a amazing man, a genius, a workaholic, had an incredible knack for business and was a real ladies man until OCD took a hold of him and sent him into seclusion then madness.
The movie The Aviator while an entertaining movie doesn't really portray just how successful and driven he was before he became ill. 2 things really set off his decline one was getting VD which caused his OCD about germs and disease and the other was the horrible plane crash that nearly killed him.
While Hughes was a tortured genius, I've always admired what kind of risk taker he was and how hard he worked to become such a success in business. I love learning more about the details of his early life. This is great book and I highly recommend it to people who want the real story of his life.
