Tim Johnson reviewed “Charles Lindbergh: A Religious Biography of America’s Most Infamous Pilot” by Christopher Gehrz on this installment of Read This Book! from the University of Minnesota Libraries. He’s joined by host Lisa Von Drasek.

Once best known as an aviator — the first to complete a solo nonstop transatlantic flight— he has since become increasingly identified with his sympathies for white supremacy, eugenics, and the Nazi regime in Germany. Underexplored amid all this is Lindbergh’s spiritual life. What beliefs drove the contradictory impulses of this twentieth-century icon?
