SynopsisThe first Americans in space--Yeager, Conrad, Grissom, and Glenn--battle the Russians for control of the heavens and put their lives on the line to demonstrate a quality beyond courage, in this classic by Wolfe., Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure; namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny emapthetic powers, that made this book a classic.

Suberb, insightful, carefully researched and detailed look into the lives of our first astronaughts.
A darn fine read, I enjoyed it immensly. Finely crafted & highly detailed, depiction of burecratic idiocy trumped by the stalwart determination and courage of our test-pilots. Purchase this book and read something good about America for a change!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
