Boris Chertok's memoirs are part of the second generation of
publications on Soviet space history, one that eclipsed the
(heavily censored) first generation published during the Communist
era. Memoirs constituted a large part of the second generation. The
distribution of material spanning the four volumes of Chertok's
memoirs is roughly chronological. This, the fourth and final volume
is largely devoted to the Soviet project to send cosmonauts to the
Moon in the 1960s, covering all aspects of the development of the
giant N-1 rocket. The last portion of this volume covers the
origins of the Salyut and Mir space station programs, ending with a
fascinating description of the massive Energiya-Buran project,
developed as a countermeasure to the American Space Shuttle. NASA
