Synopsis:
On the night of July 20, 1969, our world changed forever when two Americans, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, walked on the moon. Now the greatest event of the twentieth century is magnificently retold through the eyes and ears of the people who were there. Based on
his interviews with twenty-three moon voyagers, as well as those who struggled to get the program moving, journalist Andrew Chaikin conveys every aspect of the missions with breathtaking immediacy: from the rush of liftoff, to the heart-stopping lunar touchdown, to the final hurdle of reentry.
*Chaikin blends the myth of scientific exploration with the myth of astronaut adventures [and] recounts in loving detail the standing Apollo epic.. with verve and intelligence.” —The New York Times Book Review
”Chaikin has produced a truly authentic history, with more inside stories, more details, recollections, and feelings of all the men who traveled to the moon than any other account of the Apollo program.”
