Only now is it becoming clear how exceptional and unrepeatable the
Apollo program was. At its height, it employed almost half a
million people, many working seven days a week and each determined
that “it will not fail because of me.” Beginning with fighter
pilots in World War II, Maurer traces the origins of the program to
a few exceptional soldiers, and an eager eager man who would become
president. Packed with adventure, new stories about familiar
people, and undeniable danger, Destination Moon takes an
unflinching look at a tumultuous time in American history, told
expertly by Richard Maurer. Maurer's most recent middle-grade
nonfiction, The Woman on the Moon is being published simultaneously
with this all-new paperback edition of Destination Moon.
