I think its very different. The Schreiber book detailed Patti Hearsts affair with Defreeze at Vacaville which was encouraged by Westbrook. Schreiber argues that part of the motivation for kidnapping Patti was that she rejected him when he started talking about killing people while in prison. I think the defense did their best to hide that she was visiting and sleeping with Defreeze with her friends Mary Siems student ID card. In fact, Patti was discussing plans for kidnapping her sisters apparently. So when mizmoon and Defreeze bursted into Patti and her fiances apartment and hit steven weed over the head with a bottle then grabbing her she screamed "Not me!!!" according to Steven Weed. Also when she wrote that book none of the SLA members knew (though maybe a few had suspicions of Defreezes role as an informant and provocateur and how tightly he had been controlled and manipulated by Westbrook. Read some more today.. its really great...I just read the chapter on the people in need program, it costs Hearst a few million dollars and created a total uproar in california government all these Reagan types having to concede to this crazy "revolutionaries" demands. I was 5 when all that happened and living in the bay area but I dont remember any of it..
