Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biography. This New York Times bestseller from the National Book Award-winning author is "one of the most important biographies of the decade...an extraordinary achievement."--Los Angeles Times Book Review Few American icons provoke more enduring fascination than Charles Lindbergh--renowned for his one-man transatlantic flight in 1927, remembered for the sorrow surrounding the kidnapping and death of his firstborn son in 1932, and reviled by many for his opposition to America's entry into World War II. Lindbergh's is "a dramatic and disturbing American story," says the Los Angeles Times Book Review, and this biography--the first to be written with unrestricted access to the Lindbergh archives and extensive interviews of his friends, colleagues, and close family members--is "the definitive account." "A magisterial work...a superb job."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Berg brings us about as close as I suspect we will ever get to the man himself...provides enough fresh detail to trace the roots of Lindbergh's personality, its strengths as well as its maddening flaws, all the way back to his turbulent boyhood."--New York Times Book Review * Berg is the first and only biographer to be granted this degree of access to Lindbergh's files and interviews with crucial figures in his life, including his children and his widow
