Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Moon Shot : The Inside Story of America's Race to the Moon

Book Review: Excellent - basic story of mans conquest of the Moon
Summary: 5 Stars

The book not only tells the story of how man got to the Moon, and of the various missions before Apollo ( Mercury and Gemini) but tells the incredible story of these two astronauts and their personal trials and tribulations ( both were grounded as astronauts for many years by NASA due to health problems.)

Alan Shepherd ( 1st American into space ) tells in graphic detail, his thoughts and feelings when he walked on the Moon on Apollo 14 and describes the harrowing and unbelievable story of how their mission almost ended in tragedy and failure, following on from the disaster of apollo 13, and which if had been unsuccessful would have meant the end of the Apollo missions ( infact the mission was so successful that a further three Apollo missions and landings took place after this.)

Anyone that enjoys an exciting adventure story must read this book. A spell-binding book that chronicles one of the most incredible adventures man has ever undergone.
