Artfully curated by James R. Hansen, A Reluctant Icon: Letters to
Neil Armstrong is a companion volume to Dear Neil Armstrong:
Letters to the First Man from All Mankind, collecting hundreds more
letters Armstrong received after first stepping on the moon until
his death in 2012. Providing context and commentary, Hansen has
assembled the letters by the following themes: religion and belief;
anger, disappointment, and disillusionment; quacks, conspiracy
theorists, and ufologists; fellow astronauts and the world of
flight; the corporate world; celebrities, stars, and notables; and
last messages.Taken together, both collections provide fascinating
insights into the world of an iconic hero who took that first giant
leap onto lunar soil willingly and thereby stepped into the public
eye with reluctance. Space enthusiasts, historians, and lovers of
all things related to flight will not want to miss this book.
