Lindbergh

De: A. Scott Berg

Narrado por: Lloyd James

Pulitzer Prize, Biography/Autobiography, 1999

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."

Fascinating revisit

I had read this several years ago, and it was a captivating story. This Audible revisit was a well spent credit, I had forgotten many of the remarkable details of the Lindbergh story. I highly recommended this volume to anyone wanting to hear about Lindbergh or Aviation, or early 20th century history. So many of the hero worshipers of today seem so similar to the ones in the early 20tj century.

Too much hero worship by the author.

Berg may have not known of CAL’s
Double life in Germany. Apparently the Lindbergh children have acknowledged through DNA proof of their 1/2 siblings in Germany.

In depth and amazingly interesting

A very detailed account of Charles Lindbergh and the Lindbergh family. Great story with all it's excitement and unfortunate tragedy. Very well read - use caution with the length however.

The details

I had no idea that Lindbergh did so much stuff. He was a genius more than a great flier

lindberg, the american spy wwho hid in plain site!

lindberg provided the allies with valuable information about GERMAN'S RISE TO AVIATION SUPERIORTY WHILE HE MINGLED WITH GERMAN'S IN PLAIN SITEOF THE ENEMY.

Amazing biography of an amazing man

It is a very long book but worth every minute of learning about a man of whom most of us only knew that he was the first to fly solo across the ocean. He was so much more.

The best biography

Thorough, informative and insightful. Very well read. A great story about a great aviator and his journey

Great depiction of the largest celebrity of the 1900’s.

Great book although long winded. Very interesting life he and his family led. A very interesting insight into early 20th century media.

Good content!

Larger than life in his time! Lots of unknown information in the book! I enjoyed it cover to cover!
