* Reissue of the acclaimed biography of aviator Amelia Earhart

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.

Mary S. Lovell has written several major biographies, including The Churchills, Bess of Hardwick: First Lady of Chatsworth, A Rage to Live: A Biography of Richard and Isabel Burton and Straight on till Morning: The Biography of Beryl Markham. She lives in Hampshire. For further information on books by Mary S. Lovell, please visit her website at www.lovellbiographies.com.
