By Jim Fisher. Probably the gold standard for books on the Lindbergh kidnapping; I don't entirely agree with the retired FBI agent's conclusions (or with the publisher's decision to file this primarily under "Jerseyana"...really, Rutgers Uni Press?) but you can't argue with his research. If you want newer true-crime writing from Fisher, he has a blog (http://jimfishertruecrime.blogspot.com/) (and it was updated the day I wrote this entry!). If you want a newer copy of this paperback, good luck; this one's straight from the publisher's warehouse.

Edition DescriptionReprint
Synopsis"If I had only one book to read on the Lindbergh case I should . . . choose Fisher's. It is balanced, impartial, and contains much material not to be found elsewhere."--Francis Russell, The New York Review of Books "Fisher . . . goes against the revisionist tide and argues strongly--and persuasively--for Hauptmann's guilt . . . a compelling book."--Patrick Reardon, Chicago Tribune "A good real-life crime yarn."--Kirkus Reviews "A riveting book."--Harry Sayen, The Times, Trenton "A real detective story."--Sylvia Sachs, The Pittsburgh Press "One cannot help getting caught up in the search for the child, then in the search for justice. These events resonate more than 50 years after they occurred."--John Katzenback, The New York Times Book Review "Fisher thoroughly covers the case, from the night the baby was taken from his home in Hopewell, NJ, on March 1, 1932, to Hauptmann's execution on April 3, 1936 . . . a convincing case."--Publishers Weekly "A grimly fascinating account of the kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., son of the world-famous aviator."--The Columbus Dispatch "A richly detailed, engrossing, and well-written history of the kidnapping saga. . . . may well become the definitive work on the subject."--Journal of American History Jim Fisher is an ex-FBI agent who teaches criminal justice at Edinboro University, Edinboro, Pennsylvania., "If I had only one book to read on the Lindbergh case I should . . . choose Fisher's. It is balanced, impartial, and contains much material not to be found elsewhere."--Francis Russell, The New York Review of Books "Fisher . . . goes against the revisionist tide and argues strongly--and persuasively--for Hauptmann's guilt . . . a compelling book."--Patrick Reardon, Chicago Tribune "A good real-life crime yarn."--Kirkus Reviews "A riveting book."--Harry Sayen, The Times, Trenton "A real detective story."--Sylvia Sachs, The Pittsburgh Press "One cannot help getting caught up in the search for the child, then in the search for justice.

The BEST Lindbergh kidnapping analysis, period.
In a field littered with garbage books on conspiracy theories on the Lindbergh kidnapping case, this one is a fair, thoughtful, thorough and honest assessment of the case, taking into account all of the evidence, not just cherry picking as others do. If you want a really good overview of the case, this is THE book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
