内容简介
When she disappeared in 1937 over a shark-infested sea, Amelia
Earhart had lived up to her wish – internationally famous, a daring
and pioneering aviator, and ambassador extraordinary for the United
States. Married to a man with a genius for publicity, her life was
crowded, demanding and adventurous. Mary S. Lovell’s superb
biography examines a legend to reveal the pressures and influences
that drove Amelia, and shows how her life, career and manner of
death foreshadowed the tragedies and excesses of a media-dominated
age.
