	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - He was there Author Jack Real has written a fascinating book about his personal friend and employer, Howard Hughes. Real writes from the unique position as the only person outside the "Mormon mafia" to see and interact with Hughes personally, almost daily for the last few years of Hughes' life. He was perhaps the only person Howard Hughes completely trusted and considered to be a loyal friend for his last 20 years on earth. Ultimately, Real's own story left me wondering if Hughes' trust was well placed. I read the last half of Real's book with an overwhelming sense of frustration and tragedy. Real devotes a sizable portion of his book detailing the deceptions, manipulations, and maneuverings of his nemesis, another Hughes employee, named Bill Gay. Real relates the details of how Gay systematically seized power within the Hughes empire, then moved on to control nearly every aspect of Hughes' daily personal life, including keeping Hughes addicted to drugs so Gay could run the empire unimpeded. Real witnessed all of this first hand, he was supposedly Hughes' trusted confidant and friend, yet he took no action to thwart Gay and have him fired -- despite Hughes specifically instructing Real to do so on numerous occasions. Real's only excuse for not taking action to remove Gay from power is that Gay supposedly "knew too much", and releasing him would be a liability. This seems like a pretty flimsy excuse coming from a guy who Hughes had entrusted to facilitate a multitude of complex tasks (business and personal) on his behalf. It appears that a key piece of the story is missing, and Real doesn't come clean about what that is. Jack Real points the finger at Bill Gay (and his minions) for destroying Howard Hughes' health, and essentially neglecting him to death. But, it's Real -- not Gay (directly) -- who had personal access to Hughes on an almost daily basis. It's nice that Real was there to provide Hughes with some sense that he had a friend during those years of seclusion. Real was the only person perfectly positioned to rescue Hughes from the drugs and people who were destroying him -- tragically, he did nothing. He failed his friend and employer on what should have been his top priority task. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in an authentic insider's story of Howard Hughes. + See Full Customer Review
