Title: A Disappointing Book
Review: This book, written by a journalist who has made a career out of writing World War II adventures, is neither about the race to the Moon nor the U.S. rivalry with the U.S.S.R. The majority of it is, instead, about the World War II efforts of the German rocket team under Wernher von Braun at Peenemunde, its wartime exploits, its surrender to American forces in 1945, and only tangentially about its post-war activities in the United States. Only 6 of 24 chapters actually deal with Project Apollo, and none of the book goes beyond the popular literature on either the Germans or Apollo. Your time would be better used reading any number of other books on Apollo, especially "...the Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age," by Walter A. McDougall, which received the Pulitzer Prize for History.
