Product Information
Von Braun is an enlightening and definitive biography of perhaps the greatest rocket scientist in history. From Nazi party member to the director of NASA's Marshall Space Center and the brains behind the Apollo moon landings, von Braun continues to be a compelling and controversial figure in American history. He was the guiding light for the German's V-1 and V-2 rockets and American space flight, creating the breakthrough technologies of the Mercury and Apollo programmes, yet his Nazi party association overshadowed his accomplishments. The author devoted more than ten years of research and conducted more than a hundred interviews with von Braun's colleagues to complete this behind-the-scenes biography that looks into the stories, heroics, and contradictions of an enigmatic man.Product Identifiers
