Description:

"A richly detailed, engrossing, and well-written history of the kidnapping saga. . . . may well become the definitive work on the subject."--Journal of American History

"If I had only one book to read on the Lindbergh case I should . . . choose Fisher's. It is balanced, impartial, and contains much material not to be found elsewhere."--Francis Russell, The New York Review of Books

"A good real life crime yarn."--Kirkus Reviews

A riveting book."--Harry Sayen, Times, Trenton

"A real detective story."--Sylvia Sachs,The Pittsburgh Press

"Fisher thoroughly covers the case, from the night the baby was taken from his home in Hopewell, NJ, on March 1, 1932, to Hauptmann's execution on April 3, 1936 . . . a convincing case."--Publishers Weekly

"A grimly fascinating account of the kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., son of the world famous aviator."--The Columbus Dispatch

"The greatest story since the resurrection."--H. L. Mencken describing the Lindbergh kidnapping
