À propos de ce contenu audio
On the evening of May 6, 1937, the majestic German Zeppelin Hindenburg arrived before cheering crowds in Lakehurst, New Jersey, when suddenly, a titanic inferno lit up the sky. Thirty-four seconds later, the greatest aircraft ever to take flight was gone, destroyed in a ferocious blaze and seared into historical memory forever.
The Hindenburg disaster is one of the 20th Century’s most iconic yet elusive events—a moment everyone knows but few can place. Acclaimed historian Catherine Grace Katz unites ground-breaking research with thrilling narrative that situates this famous disaster squarely on the collision course between the decade’s two prevailing currents. The Hindenburg began as a symbol of hope and progress, a gleaming technological marvel in the nascent age of aviation. But soon the airship of dreams became a propaganda tool powering the rising Nazi regime. In this sweeping drama, Katz illustrates the story of the Hindenburg through the captivating passengers and crew caught up in the grip of fate: an adventurous heiress, a renowned Vaudeville star, a Chicago industrialist with German-Jewish roots, an esteemed Zeppelin captain, and a young cabin boy on his first voyage to America. Meanwhile, on the ground, two intrepid journalists’ reporting on the Hindenburg fundamentally changed breaking news, paving the way for modern media as we know it.
In this rigorously researched, ticking-clock narrative, Shadow Before the Flame offers a portrait of an era—when illusions of peace fueled by the hubris of invention hovered in suspended time—as the clouds of an inevitable war loomed on the horizon. Above all, it is a story of humanity and of lives forever changed by a moment that served as a harbinger for the global conflagration yet to come.
