In 1927, Lindbergh won instant fame as the first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic. Putnam's, the 640-page Lindbergh is the first authorized biography of the famous aviator, whose now 93-year-old widow, the author Anne Morrow Lindbergh, granted Berg access to all her husband's papers and to hers as well, telling him, "You can't write about Charles without writing about me." Supplemented by interviews with family members and others whose lives transected Lindbergh's, this wealth of material - contained in some 2,000 boxes, mostly at Yale - enabled Berg to write with greater detail and accuracy than any of Lindbergh's previous biographers.īerg, who has also chronicled the careers of book editor Maxwell Perkins and film mogul Samuel Goldwyn, says he enjoys "painting on big canvases."
