This biography probes the promotional machinery that publicized her feats when Earhart was alive and gave rise to years of fantastic speculation and false hope about her fate after her disappearance in 1937. ``The book offers a colorful dimension to the Earhart story by focusing on her publicist husband the flamboyant George P. Putnam who, at least as presented here, is more interesting than the aviatrix herself,'' reported PW. Photos. (Dec.)
