War within and without

This closing volume brings to an end a five-part collection of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's diaries and letters. Its pages trace the Lindbergh family's everyday life through the years of the Second World War, seen from her own perspective.

Lindbergh was an aviator and writer, and her private reflections show how a household lived through a period of global upheaval. Readers interested in personal accounts of wartime, or in the inner life of a notable twentieth-century woman, will find the entries revealing.
