Anne Morrow Lindbergh on husband's
fiction
edward w pritchard
Anne Morrow Lindbergh was a prolific writer and intelligent woman saddled with the job of being a dutiful wife to a man who history came to judge as a fool or worse a traitor to his County.
Charles Lindbergh the dashing 1920's American hero aviator who flew the Atlantic solo in a plane
was a leading isolationist speaking and writing to keep America out of World War 2 in 1941. Lindbergh's position of avoiding foreign entanglements was sound constitutionally but once the first Japanese bombs hit Pearl Harbor American public opinion did a 180 and Charles Lindbergh's reputation nose dived never to recover. Charles the husband died in 1974, Anne the wife lived on until 2001.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh who said "the most exhausting thing in life is to be insincere" good wife and Mother married to a fool although Charles was right some of the time.
