Dr. Jonathan Reich MD. M Sc, is a cardiologist within the faculty of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and also has earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering. Dr. Reich wrote this new book in spare time, done from a passion for history (and because his wife insisted, he needed a hobby).

This newest book “A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh's remarkable and controversial legacy preparing the U.S. for war” re-evaluates the life and legacy of one of the most enigmatic and important political figures of the 20th Century: Charles Lindbergh. Much of Lindbergh’s contribution to American preparatory air power prior to World War II and medicine of the 1930s is unknown.  

Using his aerospace engineering background, Dr. Reich combed through various archives to document these achievements. He also reviewed Lindbergh’s record opposing American entry into another European War to provide a new Jewish generational perspective on his advocacy and his conflict with American Jews.
