4.0

This was my first 'space' book and I have to say it fired my curiosity.

Well written by a passionate author

Author is a completely unique source as he was NBC’s space correspondent from the days of Sputnik to now. He knows the people involved- so much so he can call them at home at night. His perspective and relationships make this a book no one else could have written. He tells stories, gives background information and provides insights that are engaging, probing, fascinating, etc. So much was censored in the “good old days” that this book tells stories not heard before. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the space program. Recommended, but less highly, for those with a more generalized interest in 20th century history.
