Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh have long been exalted as two of the greatest American icons of the twentieth century.

In his wide ranging investigation, Wallace goes further than any other historian to expose how Ford and Lindbergh-acting in league with the Nazis-almost brought democratic Europe to the verge of extinction.
