App Description
LINDBERGH VS. ROOSEVELT by James P. Duffy (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).
Was aviation pioneer and American hero Charles A. Lindbergh a Nazi sympathizer, or was he the target of a vicious personal vendetta by President Roosevelt? In Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt, James Duffy tackles these questions head-on by examining the conflicting personalities, aspirations, and actions of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Charles Lindbergh. Painting a politically incorrect portrait of both men, Duffy shows how the hostility between these two American giants divided the nation on both domestic and international affairs and how Lindbergh and Roosevelt’s clash of ideas shaped the nation’s policies here and abroad. Insightful and engaging, Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt reveals the untold story about two of history’s most controversial men and how the White House waged a smear campaign against Lindbergh that blighted his reputation forever.
