The publisher's blurb reads: ''Few international celebrities of the first magnitude have been so baffling to the outside world as Charles Lindbergh, who won the adulation of the world with his epochal flight. In this perceptive full-length biography, Lindbergh emerges as a man who always had his own clear idea of who he was and what he wanted to do, and used every means in his power to keep his fame from engulfing his life. After his flight to Paris he turned down millions of dollars in commercial offers. He resisted intrusion into his personal life, but the kidnapping of his son was turned into a circus by press and public. Then idolatry turned to virulent condemnation when Lindbergh spoke out against aid to the Allies and against US. involvement in the war. What the author reveals here are the qualities which enabled Lindbergh to go on with his life and to make significant contributions in a number of widely separate fields.''
