Possibly one of the best books written on the Apollo space program. If I had to list my top five favorite books, this would be one of them. Chaikin makes readers feel as if they are actually in the story they are reading. Anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the American space program in the 1960s and 1970s should read this book. Significant portions of the book were used as the basis for the 1998 HBO mini-series "From The Earth To The Moon".

By far the easiest and most enjoyable way to understand what it took to get to the moon, told in Andy's trademark breezy style. Doesn't miss a beat!

Still amazing. If you're going to read only one book about the space program, this is the one to read.
