About this title: A biography of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, who on May 31, 1927, landed in Paris from New York after completing the first solo transatlantic flight. Upon returning to the U.S., Lindbergh became a national hero. The media's incessant pursuit of Lindbergh was something of a watershed episode in America's obsession with celebrity, an obsession which has permeated the culture throughout the 20th century. Anne Morrow Lindbergh provided Berg with access to both her and her husband's private papers. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998.

"I love biographies and I wasn't disappointed in this one. I can't wait to chat with my grandmother about her thoughts; she was 9 when he crossed the Atlantic. I do feel that Berg did a great job capturing the effects of obsessive hero worship on an individual--a desire for peace and quiet, obviously, but more interestingly, permission to be a controlling, bullying husband and father. I am completely intrigued by the "Lindbergh baby" trial and would love any recommendations about a good book that focuses on that. I give this 4 stars because of the complete omission (intentional or otherwise) of Lindbergh's secret mistresses/family/life in Germany."
