Book for School Jes Jones I had to obtain this textbook for a college course. I was less than thrilled with the contents of the book.. Bought for class required reading, turned out to be okay Everyone knows the basic Lindbergh stories; kidnapping, transatlantic flight, etc. This book actually delves into the mind and life of Lindbergh the man. A fascinating read.. Wonderful book!!! Linda Once I started reading it I could not put it down. It only took me one day to read it but I learned soo much. Very good book!!
