And to cap it all, it is a completely riveting story about the Space Age. I love this book. --Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front During World War II Douglas Brinkley is not only a scholar, he's a true storyteller. American Moonshot evokes and era, and brings to life the vivid personalities that accomplished one of the greatest feats in history. --Lawrence Wright, author of God Save Texas: A Journey into the Soul of the Lone Star State Compelling and comprehensive....With a mixture of granular detail from a gigantic body of works on the subject and analyses of Kennedy's decision-making and political savvy, American Moonshot transcends mere narrative to help the rest of us understand how America geared up for the astonishing feat of landing a man on the moon.
