In the Shadow of the Moon tells the story of the most exciting and
challenging years in spaceflight, with two superpowers engaged in a
titanic struggle to land one of their own people on the moon.
Drawing on interviews with astronauts, cosmonauts, their families,
technicians, and scientists, as well as rarely seen Soviet and
American government documents, the authors craft a remarkable story
of the golden age of spaceflight as both an intimate human
experience and a rollicking global adventure. From the Gemini
flights to the Soyuz space program to the earliest Apollo missions,
including the legendary first moon landing, their book draws a
richly detailed picture of the space race as an endeavor equally
endowed with personal meaning and political significance. Â
