"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Born into a wealthy, well-connected family, Anne grew up in the shadow of her outgoing older sister and mother and once wrote that her life's ambition was to marry a hero. Charles Lindbergh first caught her attention because he was outgoing; she saw in him a chance to break away from her natural shyness. Gherman recounts their secret courtship, Anne's aviation achievements as Charles' copilot, the kidnapping and murder of baby Charles, and Anne's development as a writer. She also touches upon the Lindberghs' controversial views concerning the Third Reich, which led to their being ostracized. Clearly written and illustrated with frequent, clear black-and-white photos, the book is strongest in demonstrating Gherman's thorough understanding of Anne's emotional core, especially what attracted her to Charles, traits that estranged them later in life. Copious back matter (including acknowledgment of Charles' second family in Germany) rounds out a solid resource for reports as well as a fascinating portrait for biography fans. Pair this with James Cross Giblin's Charles A. Lingbergh: A Human Hero (1997). Weisman, Kay
