Anne was raised in a household that fostered achievement. Her mother would drop everything at five o'clock in the evening so that she could read to her children, and when they outgrew that practice, the young Morrows would use that hour to read by themselves, or write poetry and diaries. Anne in particular would later capitalize on that routine learned in her youth, and see many of her diaries published to critical acclaim.

It was Dwight Morrow's position as Charles Lindbergh's financial adviser at J.P.

The frenzied level of press attention paid to the Lindberghs, particularly after the kidnapping and subsequent trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann (the conclusion of which was his conviction and eventual execution), prompted Charles and Anne to move first to England, and later to the small island of Illiec, off the coast of France. Bruno Richard Hauptmann (November 26, 1899 _ April 3, 1936) was a German carpenter and criminal, sentenced to death and executed for the Lindbergh kidnapping, the abduction and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh III, the 20-month old son of famous pilot Charles Lindbergh. ...


Europe provided the setting for the Lindberghs' fall from grace; he for his isolationist views, and she for thoroughly supporting him. In the late 1930s, the U.S. Air Attaché in Berlin invited Charles Lindbergh to inspect the rising power of Nazi Germany's Air Force. Impressed by German technology and their apparent number of planes, as well as influenced by the staggering number of deaths from World War I, Lindbergh opposed U.S. entry into the impending European conflict. Anne contributed an influential book, The Wave of the Future, which argued that Democracy was finished and that like it or not, something like Fascism was the "wave of the future." These views were very popular, and indeed, if the Japanese had not bombed Pearl Harbor, might have kept America out until Britain was defeated. Phillip Roth has imagined the consequences in a novel.

World War I was primarily a European conflict with many facets: immense human sacrifice, stalemate trench warfare, and the use of new, devastating weapons - tanks, aircraft, machine guns, and poison gas. ...


The Isolationist Movement quickly adopted Charles Lindbergh as their leader, but after Pearl Harbor and Germany's declaration of war, the movement was condemned for what some of the public at large interpreted to be its pro-German, anti-British and anti-Semitic sentiments. As Anne Morrow Lindbergh later recalled, for a PBS American Experience documentary on Charles, "Well, I was very distressed about it because he mentioned the Jews and said he felt the Jews were responsible for getting us into the war." Speaking for the record at the end of the 1980s Anne still agreed with her husband: "Which I guess they were... But I didn't want him to mention the Jews, because I felt he would be called anti-Semitic, which he was." It was not the accuracy of Lindbergh's contention that America's entry into World War II was the fault of "the Jews" (the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was the reason Congress cited, declaring war) which "upset" Anne, but the feared backlash. "And he said, "But why? It's perfectly true, isn't it?" I said, "Yes, but it's like lighting a match next to a heap of excelsior. That's what you're doing." And which it turned out to be."

During the post-World War II era, Anne Lindbergh and her husband wrote books, reestablishing the positive reputation they lost during their involvement with the Isolationist Movement. The most famous of Anne's literary output during that period is Gift from the Sea, her meditation on the meaning of a woman's life, which was published in 1955. Later, Anne edited and had published five volumes of her diaries from the period between 1922 and 1944. Revelations, after her death, that Charles maintained a second wife in Germany, and indeed, supported illegitimate children there, explain a stoic quality about Anne's later life.

After suffering a series of strokes in the early 1990s, which left her confused and in poor health, Anne continued to live in her home in Connecticut with the assistance of round-the-clock caregivers. During a visit to her daughter Reeve's family in 1999, she came down with pneumonia, after which she went to live near Reeve in a small home built on Reeve's family's farm in Passumpsic, Vermont.
