Tracking Apollo to the Moon

by Hamish Lindsay

This is perhaps the most complete, detailed and readable story of manned space-flight ever published. The text begins with the historical origins of the dream of walking on the Moon, covers the earliest Mercury and Gemini flights and then moves on to the end of the Apollo era. In readable, fascinating detail, Hamish Lindsay - who was directly involved in all three programs - chronicles mankind's greatest adventure with a great narrative, interviews, quotes and masses of photographs, including some previously unpublished. In addition to bringing the history of these missions to life the book serves as a detailed reference for space enthusiasts and students.

I loved it. This is a very Australian perspective of the Apollo missions, from a bloke who was there. The very first steps on the moon were received at the 28m dish in Honeysuckle Creek, near Canberra in Australia. Some clever cartoons included, and a great narrative through the whole book.

What a brilliant book. Makes the reader feel as though they are there in the space capsule. 5/5
