description: Charles A. Lindbergh is at once one of the century's best-known and most misunderstood figures. In his fascinating new biography, Lindbergh, betselling author and National Book Award winner A. Scott Berg lifts the veil of myth and mystery that has surrounded the aviator since his moment of triumph on May 21, 1927, when he landed in Paris, the first person to cross the Atlantic alone in an airplane. Berg is the first author to be given unrestricted access to the massive Lindbergh archives -- more than 2,000 boxes of personal papers, including reams of unpublished letters and diaries -- and to be allowed to freely interview Lindbergh's friends, colleagues, and family members, including his children and widow. It's an insightful look at a remarkable life.
