A brilliant, thought~provoking reinterpretation of one of the bitterest rivalries in American history, Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt cuts through what James P. Duffy asserts are layers of misinformation to reveal a startling truth: that Charles Lindbergh was not a traitor, but a true American patriot who was silenced by a White House bent on his destruction. Inside you'll find facts about Lindbergh rarely mentioned today, including how Lindbergh: ~ spent time in Germany, not as a Nazi supporter, but as a highly effective spy for the United States government. ~worked tirelessly to improve the Air Corp's ability to defend the U.S. homeland before Germany could invent a bomber capable of attacking American cities. ~flew dozens of combat missions during World War II, dive~bombing enemy positions, sinking barges, and even shooting down an enemy Japanese fighter. ~received numerous awards after the war, including the Pulitzer Prize for his autobiography. ~helped invent the perfusion pump, a medical device that opened the way for organ transplantation. "In this excellent book, Duffy successfully restores the honor that properly belongs to Lindbergh and draws a more skeptical, and accurate, portrayal of Roosevelt. If you love reading twentieth~century American history, you'll love this book." ~THOMAS E. WOODS JR., author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.…
