SIX STARRED REVIEWS!

Discover the dark side of Charles Lindbergh--one of America's most celebrated heroes and complicated men--in this riveting biography from the acclaimed author of The Family Romanov.

First human to cross the Atlantic via airplane; one of the first American media sensations; Nazi sympathizer and anti-Semite; loner whose baby was kidnapped and murdered; champion of Eugenics, the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding; tireless environmentalist. Charles Lindbergh was all of the above and more. Here is a rich, multi-faceted, utterly spellbinding biography about an American hero who was also a deeply flawed man. In this time where values Lindbergh held, like white Nationalism and America First, are once again on the rise, The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh is essential reading for teens and history fanatics alike.

Recensioni della critica

Praise for THE RISE AND FALL OF CHARLES LINDBERGH:

“There is no amped up moralizing in this fascinating chronicle…Reprehensible, estimable, complex: Ms. Fleming’s portrait reveals a man of many parts.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Absorbing and distressing in turns, this utterly prescient capture of a life—and the lives it influenced—is essential in classrooms and for history buffs alike.” —Booklist, starred review

“A compelling biography of a flawed, larger-than-life man.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A must-read. Drawing on primary sources, including Lindbergh’s own journal, Fleming has crafted a cautionary tale of the downfalls of hero worship.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“[A] smoothly written, even-handed biography.” —The Bulletin, starred review

“A historical narrative that couldn’t feel more contemporary.” —The Horn Book, starred review

“A comprehensive picture of a well-known, controversial man.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review


Praise for THE FAMILY ROMANOV:

“A remarkable human story, told with clarity and confidence.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“A wonderful introduction to this era in Russian history and a great read for those already familiar with it.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"For readers who regard history as dull, Fleming’s extraordinary book is proof positive that, on the contrary, it is endlessly fascinating, absorbing as any novel, and the stuff of an altogether memorable reading experience." —Booklist, starred review

"Fleming has outdone herself with this riveting work of narrative nonfiction that appeals to the imagination as much as the intellect." —The Horn Book, starred review

"
This is both a sobering work, and the account of the discovery of their bones and the aftermath is at once fascinating and distressing. A solid resource and good recreational reading for high school students." —School Library Journal, starred review

“With comprehensive source notes and bibliographies of print and online materials, this will be a boon to student researchers, but it’s also a heartbreaking page-turner for YAs who prefer their nonfiction to read like a novel.” —The Bulletin, starred review
