In the Shadow of the Moon: A Challenging Journey to Tranquility, 1965-1969 by Colin Burgess, Walter Cunningham, Francis French

4.0

The stories behind the first successful lunar landing still resonate five decades after the historic event. The authors deftly weave together the triumphs and tragedies along the way and frame personalities and technology in a manner which is both entrancing and accessible.
