For the first time, Joyce Milton gives us the dual biography of the wonder couple, Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Their love prevailed against a horrifying kidnapping and murder splashed throughout the media, their careers, and even the criticism they underwent following their involvement in the America First movement as the United States entered World War II. With new information presented about their son's kidnapper, Bruno Hauptmann, and Charlie's own role in the case, Milton gives her readers a lot to think about. Thoroughly researched, Milton exposes a new understanding of and view into the personalities and lives of Charles, Anne, and the time they lived in.
"Engrossing... It is nearly impossible to imagine that any [other book about the Lindberghs] could match the horsepower, top speed or rate of climb displayed in [Loss of Eden]."
David C. Lee, Houston Chronicle
"Riveting... Milton's skillful new biography... succeeds in clearing up just about every conundrum in the life of this celebrated pioneer and his fabulously wealthy wife and co-pilot."
