Book Description
===================
An exhilarating dive into the secret history of humankind’s race to
the moon, from acclaimed author Amy Cherrix. This fascinating and
immersive read is perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin’s Bomb and M. T.
Anderson’s Symphony for the City of the Dead.
You’ve heard of the space race, but do you know the whole story?
The most ambitious race humankind has ever undertaken was masterminded
in the shadows by two engineers on opposite sides of the Cold
War—Wernher von Braun, a former Nazi officer living in the US, and
Sergei Korolev, a Russian rocket designer once jailed for crimes
against his country—and your textbooks probably never told you.
Von Braun became an American hero, recognized the world over, while
Korolev toiled in obscurity. These two brilliant rocketeers never met,
but together they shaped the science of spaceflight and redefined
modern warfare. From Stalin’s brutal Gulag prisons and Hitler’s
concentration camps to Cape Canaveral and beyond, their simultaneous
quests pushed science—and human ingenuity—to the breaking point.
From Amy Cherrix comes the extraordinary hidden story of the space
race and the bitter rivalry that launched humankind to the moon.
