Más información sobre el libro

When Charles A. Lindbergh landed in Paris on May 21, 1927, after a 33-hour solo flight from America to Europe, he became an unexpected hero. From that moment, Lindbergh's life unfolded under the scrutiny of a voracious public: his marriage to the beautiful daughter of a diplomat, Anne Morrow, the kidnapping and murder of their baby, his sympathies towards Nazi Germany, and his involvement in the development of new aviation techniques and space exploration, later extending to environmental advocacy. A. Scott Berg, known for his bestsellers on notable Americans Max Perkins and Samuel Goldwyn, presents the spectacular life of Charles Lindbergh, a legendary and controversial figure shrouded in mystery. Berg gained unprecedented access to the extensive Lindbergh archive, comprising over 2,000 boxes of personal documents, diaries, letters, and unpublished political speeches. He also conducted candid interviews with friends, colleagues, and close family members. The result is a brilliant biography that sheds light on a life obscured by myths and half-truths.
