The Man Who Ran the Moon
Danny Says
I have decided to stop including subtitles to books, as too many books nowadays seem to include overly long subtitles like this one, “James E. Webb, NASA, and the Secret History of Project Apollo.” For goodness sake, folks: read the book, as it chronicles how James Webb ran NASA in the 1960s, for better or worse, by brokering all sorts of backroom, good ole boy deals. Bizony’s book is fascinating, as it reveals the realistic side of inspirational programs like our country’s space program. I loved the book and commend the author for presenting the facts without shattering the dream. If you have not guessed, I am a space nut who admires the one program that seems to rally the world around America (in a positive way, that is): NASA.
