A Convenient Villain is a new biography of Charles Lindbergh written by a physician and aerospace engineer. Unlike earlier works, it provides an in-depth examination of Lindbergh’s contributions to Allied intelligence before World War II and to the U.S. Air Force afterward. Despite having only an eleventh-grade education, Lindbergh achieved two remarkable advances in medicine, which are also explored in this book. His isolationist views are analyzed in their full historical context—not reduced to a single speech or quotation—and the book ultimately presents a fairer, more nuanced assessment of his legacy.
