Little Lindy Is Kidnapped

Thomas Doherty offers a lively and comprehensive cultural history of the media coverage of the abduction of the child of Charles and Anne Lindbergh and its aftermath. He traces how newspapers, radio, and newsreels reported on what was dubbed the “crime of the century.”

Cea mai mare poveste de crima din istoria americana a inceput in noaptea de 1 martie 1932, cand fiul de douazeci de luni al lui Charles si Anne Lindbergh a fost smuls din patutul sau din Hopewell, New Jersey. Stirea a socat o natiune captivata de aviator, prima persoana care a zburat singura non-stop peste Atlantic.
