Apollo may have landed men on the Moon, but the real story is the shear audacity of a nation to dream and implement a program that has yet to be repeated. That nation was America, but without the inspiration and toil of thousands of people - the engineers - of which many of the key personel were Canadian and British, this venture would have faded slowly in the early sixties. This author has provided priceless first hand histories of the people that made the program, and created a narrative that is entertaining and informative to both the casual reader and the serious Lunar Program researcher. This book is about the circumstances that sent some of Canada's and Britain's brightest minds to America to join that nation in one of the most epic adventures in the history of mankind. Highly recommended reading.
