The rise and fall of Charles Lindbergh / Candace Fleming.
He was: The first man to fly from New York to Paris - a deadly venture for those who had attempted it before him; One of the first media sensations, whose extraordinary celebrity would overwhelm him and lead to tragedy; The victim of the Crime of the Century, when his infant son was kidnapped from his crib as he and his wife dined downstairs; A Nazi sympathizer, fascinated by Hitler's Germany, and a leader of the America First Committee. Famed pilot, inventor of the "artificial heart," Pulitzer Prize-winning author, adulterer, environmentalist, and hero, Charles Lindbergh was a complex, deeply flawed American. Here is a spell-binding biography by award-winning author Candace Fleming - the riveting story of a man whose controversial views and actions will strike an eerily familiar chord in readers today.
