Book Reviews of Deke!: An Autobiography
Book Review: No Holds Barred Look at the Space Program from the top
Summary: 5 Stars
Good biography of an often overlooked major player in America's race to the moon. Slayton shoots straight from the hip, telling the reader what he thinks -- calling a spade a spade. Of particular interest to Apollo fans is Slayton's descision making in selecting the crews for the different missions. Very intersting. Good coverage of the Apollo-Soyuz mission as well. Good history of what path Slayton took to become one of "The Seven". If you've read "Moon Shot", this is better.
