Rocket Men

In May 1969, the 30-story Saturn V rocket sent three astronauts on humanity’s first journey to the Moon. In his book Apollo 11, historian Craig Nelson takes readers behind the scenes of this monumental mission. Drawing on declassified CIA archives and 23,000 pages of eyewitness testimony, the author has crafted a gripping work of documentary storytelling about scientific breakthrough, political rivalry, and extraordinary human courage.
