Book Reviews of the ...the Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age
Customer Review: A masterpiece!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best political history written about the space program to date. McDougall's book is masterfully researched and written. This is what scholarship is all about! As a doctoral student in space policy, I have found this book to be an incredible reference guide in my studies.McDougall's genius lies in his ability to decifer the true reasons (political, social, and economic) behind the space race. The amazing thing is that he did so before most of the classified documents regarding the opening years of the American space program were released. Almost all of his assumptions have been proven true as those documents have become available to the public.
I would highly recommend this book to any true student of the history of the space program.
