The Airman and the Carpenter: The Lindbergh Kidnapping and the Framing of Richard Hauptman

Penguin??Books

The kidnapping and murder of airman Charles "Lucky Lindy" Lindbergh's infant son stunned the nation in 1932. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, an illegal alien from Germany with a criminal record, was tried, convicted, and executed for what came to be known as "the crime of the century." Ludovic Kennedy's detailed account of the investigation and trial reveals a shocking array of perjury, cover-up, manufactured evidence, and inept legal work, pushed through in a lynch-mob atmosphere. His compelling book leaves readers with grave doubts about the American criminal justice system and little doubt as to the wrongful conviction of Hauptmann.

History

Americas

Lord Nelson's brilliant naval strategy and unparalleled command gave Britain total supremacy at sea and made him a national hero. Much of his success, however, was also due to the "Band of Brothers" under his command; the most loyal and dedicated officers that the Royal Navy had ever seen. They included Troubridge, that "dear good soul"; Hardy, with whom Nelson was always in accord; Berry, his "right hand"; Fremantle, his staunch supporter; and Hood, gentle and unaffected. Despite their different backgrounds and outlooks, they were united in their devotion to Nelson. Ludovic Kennedy skilfully interweaves the stories of these captains with that of Nelson himself to give a fast-moving and comprehensive picture of a vital decade in naval history. Alongside a vivid and scholarly account of the great battles, he provides a candid and intimate portrait of Nelson, and of his developing intrigue with Lady Hamilton and its repercussions on his relations with his captains.

All in the Mind: A Farewell to God

Ludovic Kennedy is one of our most distinguished writers and broadcasters. In his new book he explores the question being asked as we approach the end of the second millennium of Christianity - are we any longer justified in interpreting what we call God as an autonomous, independent, sentient being? Or has the time come to recognise him in the way we recognise all history's gods, as images created and sustained by the human mind to meet human needs? The author examines the origins of gods from the earliest times, questions the reliability of both Old and New Testaments, and records the growth of European atheism from before the Reformation to the present day. Interspersed with this, Ludovic Kennedy offers revealing and often witty insights into how his own upbringing affected his thinking; and in a final, moving chapter, tells how he has found his own way to spiritual fulfilment.
