Lindbergh Vs. Roosevelt: The Rivalry That Divided America Book

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

If asked about Charles Lindbergh's political beliefs, most Americans would instinctively respond that Lindbergh supported the Nazis. Despite his innumerable contributions to American aviation, including his pioneering solo flight across the Atlantic, Lindbergh's supposed sympathy for Nazi Germany continues to cloud his reputation even decades after his death.

There's only one problem: it's not true. In Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt, James P. Duffy reveals the real history of Charles Lindbergh: he was an American patriot who was subject to one of the most successful smear campaigns in American history. Angered by Lindbergh's criticism, President Roosevelt launched against him a crusade of personal destruction that was eagerly propagated by FDR's supporters throughout the government and the media.

This groundbreaking book reveals:
The initial clash between Lindbergh and Roosevelt over a misguided FDR policy that caused more than a dozen deaths Lindbergh's long?standing antipathy to the Nazis, including his vital espionage activities against the Third Reich The Roosevelt administration's shocking private discussions of their vendetta against Lindbergh Why the popular belief that Lindbergh was an anti?Semite is absolutely wrong Why Roosevelt, not Lindbergh, deserves to be remembered for serving foreign interests

A vital corrective to years of misinformation, Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt shows how a powerful president systematically turned an extraordinary American hero into a modern?day Benedict Arnold—an image that endures to this very day.
