Amazon.com Review
Charles Lindbergh is fascinating both as a complicated man and as a case study of the problematic nature of "heroes." Lindbergh's famous flight put him in the history books and made him the toast of America. The tragic kidnapping of his child made his name even more familiar. But his peculiar politics and wartime actions, which included Nazi affiliations and leadership of the original "America First" movement opposing war against Germany, added a notorious quality to his fame. Pulling no punches, this biography tells the interesting story of the man and the legends that surround Lindbergh. The well-researched book draws from interviews and includes period photos. (Ages 10 and up)
Product Description
A profile of Charles Lindbergh follows his history-making endeavors and reveals lesser-known aspects of his private life, in a biography that invites young readers to decide for themselves what it takes to be a hero.

This biography about Charles A. Lindbergh covers his whole life from childhood through his eventual depression and death.Charles Lindbergh lived an interesting life. His first son was kidnapped and murdered. His father was a politician for the state of Minneapolis. His grandpa spent a lot of time with him and also was a great inventer. All of these helped me really get into the book. At certain points I didn't want to put the book down! I also liked this book because I could relate to him. He was bad in school but turned out to be a hero. He didn't like school, went to collage and didn't do well once again. Then, he went to flight school and found flying was what he really enjoyed. After discovering this interest, Charles Lindbergh soon became a hero. This story was inspirational to me.

Lindbergh's life was full of triumph and tragedy. This book has both, it follows him from his childhood to his old days and throughly documents every event. It also has some small photos to allow the reader to become more familiar with the times. This is an interesting and inspiring story. It's also a must read because it sheds light on the difficult past that most people alive today have no idea about.
