American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race

byDouglas Brinkley

In American Moonshot, Douglas Brinkley presents a historical account centered on john F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and science.

Together, these elements make American Moonshot an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
