Softcover. Zustand: new. Product DescriptionNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The riveting inside story of three heroic astronauts who took on the challenge of mankinds historic first mission to the Moon, from the bestselling author of Shadow Divers.Robert Kurson tells the tale of Apollo 8 with novelistic detail and immediacy.-Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and ArtemisBy August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the Moon by President Kennedys end-of-decade deadline, and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the Moon-in just four months. And it would all happen at Christmas.In a year of historic violence and discord-the Tet Offensive, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy, the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago-the Apollo 8 mission would be the boldest, riskiest test of Americas greatness under pressure. In this gripping insider account, Robert Kurson puts the focus on the three astronauts and their families: the commander, Frank Borman, a conflicted man on his final mission; idealistic Jim Lovell, whod dreamed since boyhood of riding a rocket to the Moon; and Bill Anders, a young nuclear engineer and hotshot fighter pilot making his first space flight.Drawn from hundreds of hours of one-on-one interviews with the astronauts, their loved ones, NASA personnel, and myriad experts, and filled with vivid and unforgettable detail, Rocket Men is the definitive account of one of Americas finest hours. In this real-life thriller, Kurson reveals the epic dangers involved, and the singular bravery it took, for mankind to leave Earth for the first time-and arrive at a new world.Rocket Men is a riveting introduction to the [Apollo 8] flight. . . . Kurson details the mission in crisp, suspenseful scenes. . . . [A] gripping book.-The New York Times Book ReviewReviewWith Rocket Men, Robert Kurson tells the tale of Apollo 8 with novelistic detail and immediacy, expertly capturing the urgency and suspense behind the mission that gave America the lead in the Space Race.-Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and ArtemisRocket Men is a riveting introduction to the [Apollo 8] flight. . . . Kurson details the mission in crisp, suspenseful scenes. . . . [A] gripping book.-The New York Times Book ReviewKursons first-rate account of this remarkable spaceflight starts by reminding us what a gamble it was, a revelatory wake-up nudge for anyone who thinks moon flights were routine. . . . There are many pieces to the Apollo 8 story, but Kurson brings them together effortlessly.-USA TodayRocket Men is close-to-the-bone adventure-telling on a par with Alfred Lansings Endurance and Jon Krakauers Into Thin Air. Its as close to a movie as writing gets.-Mary Roach, The Washington PostKurson tells the behind-the-scenes story of Rocket Men with the pace of a thriller and the sensibility of a screenwriter. . . . With his focus on the astronauts young families, Kurson holds readers rapt to the heartwarming finale.-Vanity FairEngrossing . . . Kurson builds suspense around a mind-bendingly complex and dangerous journey.-Associated PressSpectacular . . . [Rocket Men] carries on in great style through 350-some pages of daring, adventure, risk-taking and so much more. . . . Kursons portraits of the men, as well as their wives, their families and space-program colleagues, are intimate and artfully drawn.-Chicago TribuneRefreshing . . . The book will bring long-deserved attention to a mission that has been overshadowed. . . . Apollo 8s success not only salvaged the space program but also managed to relieve the pessimism regarding the future into which the country had plunge.
