In May 1927 Lindbergh became the first solo pilot to cross the Atlantic non-stop. He had spent over 33 hours in the air and was feted as a new American hero. The media attention he received intensified in 1932 when his 20-month-old baby was kidnapped. The infamous "Lindbergh baby" was later found dead and the trial of the assumed kidnapper, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, generated a public hysteria which forced the Lindberghs into exile in Europe. Linbergh's admiration for the Nazi regime in Germany brought him a decoration from Hermann Goering and, upon his return to America in 1939, he became a leading spokesman of the America First facist movement but public opinion began to turn against him. When the United States entered the war, Lindbergh offered to enlist in the Air Force but Roosevelt refused to let him serve although he later flew in many unofficial combat missions in the South Pacific. This biography reveals the many facets of the private Lindbergh.

"Charles Lindbergh's life was a singular odyssey and many of his accomplishments, long hidden from the public, were a testament to his unique character. He was at the forefront of pioneering research in aeronautics and rocketry; his passion for conservation and anthropology led him to remote regions of Asia, Africa and the Americas, where he instigated changes in government policy; and his innovative medical work led to the development of a precursor to the articifical heart. He unfailingly encouraged the literary career of his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh - author of the perennial bestseller Gift from the Sea, who became one of the century's leading feminist voices and founded a successful reputation as a popular diarist. This compelling biography explores the complex relationship of the supposedly 'golden couple' who have long been considered 'American royalty'. Best-selling author and National Book Award winner A. Scott Berg is the only writer to have been given unrestricted access to the massive Lindbergh archives - more than two thousand boxes of private papers - and the only one permitted to interview Lindbergh's closest friends, colleagues and family members. The result is a brilliant biography that clarifies a life long blurred by myth and half-truth.". Artikel-Nr. 8596
