Early in the morning of 4 October 1957, T. Keith Glennan went to
work, just as he had for more than a decade, at the president's
office of the Case Institution of Technology in Cleveland, Ohio.
This work is his summary of his work.
"The Birth of NASA--The Diary of T. Keith Glennan" tells the
story of the critical formative months of the new agency. The
Introduction describes the background of T. Keith Glennan, the
first NASA Administrator. After the Introduction, the book
continues with Glennan's recollections of NASA from his appointment
until the end of 1959. The 13 chapters are written in a diary
format covering month-by-months his activities until he left the
position in 1961. A Postscript, written in 1963, gives his views on
the space program after he left office. A Biographical Appendix
gives short sketches of about 400 individuals active in the space
program during this period. Throughout the diary numerous
explanatory footnotes by the editor clarify events an provide
references for further details. Although Glennan's stay at NASA was
short, his contributions are most significant, as he built the
organization that would men to the moon and serve the nation to the
present time.
