The Great Depression Era you would think would be a lesson but it seems history repeats itself.The discussion in The Kidnap Years centered upon two main groupings: Lindbergh and Hoover and how the FBI was portrayed as the 'hero' in it all.
Trying times lead to desperation and societal instabilities, inequalities, corruption, and the like leads to unrest and anger with one common evil-MONEY! Just ask the current administration.
It's not unlike what we have today with the advancements of corporate greed for blood on their hands from Corona deaths through political channels that are severed and destroyed.
The bridges that burn continue to burn and those in the wake suffer the greatest damage and it's not just collateral that we speak.
Having a background and Major in Criminal Justice I've found the historical aspect of these most alarming cases interesting yet ponder the effects of some well known conspiracy theories and frame jobs especially with the Lindbergh's baby who was accidentally killed or so they say in the kidnapping leaving many to wonder if Bruno was framed.
I have found a few that might suggest this certainty with this article link of the more famous ones: https://www.thoughtco.com/most-notorious-kidnappings-4144989
All in all this was a great read with much train of thought to have far we've come and how the unraveling of the greatest organization utilized to combat crime is under attack from within its own walls on many fronts.
It makes you wonder about progression and the measures used to calculate them all. What I see today is disheartening and the level of complete ignorance, bias, egotism, and incompetence with corporations, lobbyists, and politicians with their greedy hands in every pot it's a no wonder anything has been accomplished.
Hopefully desperation in trying times doesn't result in what we've read in this wonderful new novel, because hope is all we have left to comfort ourselves. Stay safe!
