Author: Jim Fisher
Stars: 5
Review by: JamBob
This is the second time I am reading this book to prepare to see the Lindbergh Trial this Fall which is supposedly the last year they are performing this. Jim Fisher does an excellent job of giving the reader the chronology, facts and evidence in the case. Then he explains all the conspiracy theories, other books and docudramas that were released with a host of alternate explanations. He does all this in clear writing and in a short book (less than 200 pages). The Lindbergh baby kidnapping still haunts us today and there are many who believe the wrong man was executed. So many people were involved in this case, some to solve it, some to be close to Lindbergh the American hero, some to launch a political career, some to extort money...the list is endless. There was such a frenzy to solve the case that although this author feels justice was served by convicting Hauptman there is plenty of room to question whether the evidence was complete or contrived.
