WJFF Radio Catskill NPR. How Amelia Earhart Became a Legend. “I always thought she’s a hero—and I want to say up front that after I finished five years of working on this book, I still think she’s a hero,” Shapiro told Radio Catskill. “But I think that the truth of how she rose to fame is very complicated, and you do not get a million-dollar reputation without George Palmer Putnam, who was her lover and then her husband who shaped her career, and perhaps together they were responsible for her death.”
