The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh
Candace Fleming
This biography examines the conflicting public and private sides of aviator Charles Lindbergh. It recounts his first solo nonstop flight from New York to Paris at age twenty-five, the publicity that cast him as an American hero, and the kidnapping and murder of his son. It also addresses information that challenged that image, including his racism, Nazi sympathies, controlling behavior, and role as a speaker at America First rallies. His life is presented through scenes and selected quotations.
