Editorial Reviews

He was America's greatest hero before his personal views led to a pubic outcry. She was a pioneer in her own right who seemed to have nothing in common with her husband. Charles and Anne Lindbergh were one of the most famous couples in the world, but they were never comfortable in the spotlight. This unique, two-hour BIOGRAPHY® goes beyond the familiar elements--the historic flight of the Spirit of St. Louis and the kidnapping and murder of their son--to present a reasoned, balanced portrait of Charles, Anne and their life together. It explores their many overlooked accomplishments, from their pioneering around-the-world survey flights to his role as an early conservationist, and we'll examine the public statements that turned the all- American hero into a reviled public figure. And personal, intimate insight into the "first couple of the air" is provided by friends and family, including their daughter, Reeve Lindbergh. Triumph thrust them into the public eye, but it was tragedy and controversy that kept them there.
