Über diesen Titel
From the New York Times bestselling author, a fascinating exploration of one of the most famous marriages of the 20th century
In Solo and Together, Hansen uncovers the intricate tapestries of two of the 20th century's most iconic personalities, revealing insights that change what we thought we knew about America's pioneering aviator and his accomplished writer-wife.
Through groundbreaking archival research and intimate interviews with family members, Hansen navigates the triumphs and tragedies that defined the Lindberghs' shared journey—from Charles’s historic transatlantic flight to their family's darkest chapter: the infamous kidnapping and murder of their first child. The narrative delves into Charles's divisive isolationist stances during the years leading up to World War II and shares revelations of Charles's secret life, including his relationships with three European women and the seven children he fathered. Alongside this, Hansen casts light on Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s own private struggles and secret desires, offering a fresh perspective on her literary achievements and personal sacrifices.
Hansen delivers a deeply human portrait of the Lindberghs, one that challenges assumptions while respecting the indelible mark they left on history. A must-read for anyone captivated by the lives of those who dare to soar beyond boundaries, Solo and Together promises to enthrall and educate, providing a definitive account of love, ambition, betrayal, and resilience.

“No marital relationship born in twentieth-century America deserves a new, incisive look more than that of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. James Hansen has delivered a superb and nuanced portrait of their confounded partnership, doing justice both to the individuals and the complex historical record.”
—Steven P. Gietschier, American historian, author of Baseball: The Turbulent Midcentury Years.
"The character of these romantic heroes is mysterious; only a great love could have navigated the storms of their complicated marriage. The magic of this dual portrait is the light these lovers shed on each other. Hansen's compassionate, wise book has provided a vital illumination."
—Daniel Mark Epstein, author of The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage, and Constellations: Collected Poems
“A vividly written and meticulously researched joint biography of the superstar celebrity couple that were akin to American Royalty for much of the 20th Century. Drawn to each other by their shared love of aviation, which never abated, the Lindberghs were a team extraordinaire...This is American history at its very finest. Highly recommended!!”
