Howard Hughes was a mysterious and enigmatic figure from "summary" of Empire: the Life, Legend, and Madness of Howard Hughes by Donald L. Bartlett

Throughout the pages of 'Empire: the Life, Legend, and Madness of Howard Hughes' by Donald L. Bartlett, a recurring theme emerges - the mysterious and enigmatic nature of Howard Hughes. This enigma is woven into every aspect of his life, from his early years as a wealthy heir to his later years as a recluse. From a young age, Hughes displayed a tendency towards secrecy and seclusion. He was known to be fiercely private, rarely granting interviews or allowing others into his inner circle. This isolation only grew as he became more successful, leading to rumors and speculation about his true motives and intentions. One of the most perplexing aspects of Hughes' character was his obsession with control. He micromanaged every aspect of his business empire, from the design of his planes to the script of his movies. This need for control extended to his personal life as well, with Hughes going to great lengths to maintain his privacy and keep his affairs hidden from the public eye. Despite his best efforts, however, Hughes could not escape the scrutiny of the media and the public. Rumors swirled around him, painting him as a mad genius or a paranoid recluse. The truth, as Bartlett reveals, is likely somewhere in between - a complex and multifaceted individual whose true motivations may never be fully understood. In the end, Hughes remains a figure shrouded in mystery, his true nature obscured by layers of myth and speculation. Bartlett's exploration of his life and legacy only serves to deepen the enigma, leaving readers to ponder the true nature of this enigmatic figure long after they have turned the final page.
