Discover the dark side of Charles Lindbergh--one of America's most
celebrated heroes and complicated men--in this riveting biography from
the acclaimed author of The Family Romanov.
First human to cross the Atlantic via airplane; one of the first
American media sensations; Nazi sympathizer and anti-Semite; loner whose
baby was kidnapped and murdered; champion of Eugenics, the science of
improving a human population by controlled breeding; tireless
environmentalist. Charles Lindbergh was all of the above and more. Here
is a rich, multi-faceted, utterly spellbinding biography about an
American hero who was also a deeply flawed man. In this time where
values Lindbergh held, like white Nationalism and America First, are
once again on the rise, The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh is
essential reading for teens and history fanatics alike.
