![]() You could probably get a lot of "hard" data out of this biography. Berg tries so hard to be dispassionate about his subject, that his writing lacks any passion at all. I think, though, what I missed most, compared to the Diary/Letters of "Bring Me a Unicorn", and the following collections, "War Within and Without", "The Flower and the Nettle", is that *Lindbergh* essentially lacks a human voice, the voice of CAL, himself. Lindbergh's daugher, Reeve, writes about meeting her half-siblings and how it felt to learn of her father's infidelity. For instance, he actually had families with two separate German women. Since reading the first third of this book, I have since learned that it actually misses out on a lot of CAL's life. However, after several attempts, I could not bring myself to finish this dry biography of what was a very interesting, and multidimensional life story. I read Anne Morrow Lindbergh's memoir, "Send me a Unicorn", and that got me hooked on this fascinating couple. I have been intrigued by CAL's life for many years. ![]() Anne Morrow Lindbergh had hired Berg, prior to her death, giving him access to records involving CAL's history, with the stipulation that the biography not be compiled or written until after AML's death. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scott Berg, is the only "official" biography of Charles Lindbergh. ![]()
