A really enjoyable read. Margot Lee Shetterly does an excellent job of placing the work being done at NASA within the broader contexts of the times, from the worker shortages of WWII to the Space Race panic of the early Cold War, and always threaded through with the current state of racism in the US. It's not just a book about moments in aeronautic and aerospace history; it's about a whole era of US consciousness.
