On May 25, 1961, JFK made an astonishing announcement: his goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade. American Moonshot brings together the extraordinary political, cultural, and scientific factors that fueled the birth and development of NASA and the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects, which shot the United States to victory in the space race against the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. Written by Douglas Brinkley. Paperback; 944 pages. #21105948
