His historic career as an aviator made Charles Lindbergh one of
the most famous men of the twentieth century, the subject of
best-selling biographies and a hit movie, as well as the
inspiration for a dance step--the Lindy Hop--that he himself was
too shy to try. But for all the attention lavished on Lindbergh,
one story has remained untold until now: his macabre scientific
collaboration with Dr. Alexis Carrel. This oddest of couples--one a
brilliant Nobel Prize-winning surgeon turned social engineer, the
other a failed dirt farmer turned hero of the skies--joined forces
in 1930 driven by a shared and secret dream: to conquer death and
attain immortality.
Part Frankenstein, part The Professor and the Madman, and all
true, The Immortalists is the remarkable story of how two men of
prodigious achievement and equally large character flaws challenged
nature's oldest rule, with consequences--personal, professional,
and political--that neither man anticipated.
