Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As someone growing up in the late 60's and early 70's, Charles Lindbergh was little known to me. Of course, I knew of his flight across the Atlantic in 1927 and the kidnapping and murder of his son a few years later. However, I was not familiar with the controversy about his non-interventionist position in the years leading up to World War II and even less about Roosevelt's smear campaign against him. I had no idea that Roosevelt hated Lindbergh so much or that his hatred was due to Lindbergh's involvement in the American First Committee. By challenging Roosevelt, on several issues Lindbergh lost his public credibility, becoming vilified in the press for his political views. While Roosevelt accomplished much while he was president, the treatment Lindbergh received does not speak well of Roosevelt. This is a well-written and fascinating book about one of the most mysterious figures in the 20th century. Mr. Duffy's research appears to be first-rate and he has written this book in a style that the average person can understand and enjoy. I found this book to be inspiring and I highly recommend it.
