From acclaimed historian Catherine Grace Katz, author of The Daughters of Yalta, comes a gripping, ticking-clock history of one of the 20th century’s most famous and least understood events.

On the evening of May 6, 1937, the German airship Hindenburg arrived over Lakehurst, New Jersey, to cheering crowds. Moments later, a massive fire lit up the sky, shocking the world and bringing the age of the airship to a close. Katz places the disaster at the crossroads of two powerful forces: a booming age of aviation, in which airships were seen as the future of global travel, and the rising tension between Nazi Germany and the United States.

Told through a vivid cast of real people, including an adventurous heiress, a famous performer, a German Jewish passenger trying to protect his family from Nazism, a young cabin boy on his first voyage, and the journalists whose coverage helped create modern breaking news, the book captures a fleeting moment when hopes for peace and progress still seemed possible, even as the world edged toward war.

Meticulously researched, dramatic, and beautifully told, Shadow Before the Flame is both a portrait of a lost era and a story of how technology, politics, and fate collided.
