Course Description

From triumph to controversy, this seminar examines the complex legacy of Charles Augustus Lindbergh. It begins with his historic solo transatlantic flight, which made him a symbol of courage, innovation and national pride, then moves beyond the myth to explore the fuller historical record. 

  

Using primary documents and photographs, the course traces Lindbergh’s later public admiration for Nazi Germany, his involvement with the America First Committee and his opposition to U.S. entry into World War II. 

  

Rather than offering a character judgment, the seminar provides historical analysis, inviting participants to consider how heroism and moral compromise can coexist—and why understanding the full story matters.
