Description du produit

‘The man was a fine engineer, a good pilot – although there is some dispute about that – patriotic, cool, courageous and hard-working, just the sort of guy you want next to you when the chips are down
Sunday Times 13/11
Although he was the first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong has always been the least public of the Apollo 11 astronauts. He has seldom given inter vews, or lent his name to merchandising tat, or haunted the same professional old-boy circuit as his former colleagues. But at 75, he’s finally decided to break his silence - or to have it broken for him by his official biographer, James R.Hansen’
Sunday Telegraph 11/12
‘This is the first full-length biography of him. The author, a professor of history at Auburn University, Alabama, is well qualified to write it, and let it be said at once that his book is an outstanding success. It has been immaculately researched and is packed with detail, but written in a way that will appeal to readers of all kinds…this is an important book, and should be in every scientific library. There is a black-and-white photographic section, and references extensive enough to satisfy any historian. The author is to be warmly congratulated – and so too are the publishers – for keeping the price down to an acceptable £20.’
Sir Patrick Moore, Times Higher Education Supplement 20/1
