An ‘engrossing’ account of the Hindenburg

Shadow Before the Flame by Catherine Grace Katz.

The Hindenburg airship was a source of fascination before its final moments — crashing to the ground in 1937 — became its lasting legacy.

Katz delves into the zeppelin’s history, political salience, and central role at the time; in a starred review, Kirkus dubbed it an “engrossing narrative of an iconic disaster in the sky.” Buy Shadow Before the Flame from your local bookstore.
