Reader Reviews
I grew up in the American manned space program so tend to be somewhat jaded by some of the "outsider" accounts of what went on in the early years. But this book was full of pleasant surprises with both lesser-known facts about the well-recognized astronauts and detailed important information about the lesser-known, such as the cosmonauts and those who wanted to become astronauts. The book humanized the Russian program as well as our own. This is the first social history of that narrow time frame that I have seen. There were enough engineering facts to make sense out of what was going on at the time, but focused more on the personal lives of the trailblazers and the impact they made on society. I would highly recommend this to space buffs, historians and sociologists. I was especially interested in the cosmonaut stories and the chapter about the two Wallys.
