Figure 1.-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh is primarily known as the wife of famed aviator Lucjky Lindy--Charles Lindberg. Sge was an author and and aviation pioneer in her own right. Here we see her about 1915. Her husband was accused of being a NAZI, but was rather circumspect in his statements usually focusing on the need to stay out of the War between Britain and Germany. He did say in Congessional testimony on Lend Lease that he did not see much differenc between Britain and NAZI Germany (1941). Anne was much more ecplicit. She wrote a book that she would later come to regret--The Wave of the Future (1940). At at a time that Luftwaffe bombs were falling on London she argues for accomodation. Her book was Isolationist, almost totalitarian, propaganda. She identifies German Nazism, Italian Fascism, and Soviet Communism as being "the wave of the future." She criticises democracy for its balance of powers and elections impeding progress. She notes the excsses of the toltalitarians, but argues for accomodation, ignoring the failure of Britain's appeasement of Hitler. Mrs. Roosevelt also wrote a book in 1940 -- The Moral Basis of Democracy.
