Description du livre Softcover. Etat : new. Product DescriptionNow in paperback, an award-winning historian and perennial New York Times bestselling author takes a fresh look at the space program, President John F. Kennedys inspiring challenge, and Americas race to the moon.We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win.-President John F. KennedyOn May 25, 1961, JFK made an astonishing announcement: his goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade. In this engrossing, fast-paced epic, Douglas Brinkley returns to the 1960s to recreate one of the most exciting and ambitious achievements in the history of humankind. American Moonshot brings together the extraordinary political, cultural, and scientific factors that fueled the birth and development of NASA and the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects, which shot the United States to victory in the space race against the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War.Drawing on new primary source material and major interviews with many of the surviving figures who were key to Americas success, Brinkley brings this fascinating history to life as never before. American Moonshot is a portrait of the brilliant men and women who made this giant leap possible, the technology that enabled us to propel men beyond earths orbit to the moon and return them safely, and the geopolitical tensions that spurred Kennedy to commit himself fully to this audacious dream. Brinkleys ensemble cast of New Frontier characters include rocketeer Wernher von Braun, astronaut John Glenn and space booster Lyndon Johnson.A vivid and enthralling chronicle of one of the most thrilling, hopeful, and turbulent eras in the nations history, American Moonshot is an homage to scientific ingenuity, human curiosity, and the boundless American spirit.ReviewBrinkleys story is a gripping one. Rice University scholar and an agile and prolific historian and biographer, Brinkley is well-situated to tell this story Brinkley sees an important poignancy, and he renders it with real power. - Boston GlobeA highly engaging history not just for space-race enthusiasts, but also students of Cold War politics.Prolific historian Brinkley avers that his latest is a contribution to U.S. presidential history (not space studies). However, in his customarily thorough way, its clear that hes mastered a great deal of the fact and lore surrounding the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo projects that landed American astronauts on the moon 50 years ago. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)At a time when national demoralization is so prevalent, Douglas Brinkleys American Moonshot could not be more timely. His reconstruction of JFKs bold commitment to space exploration and the heroic efforts of the men who made the moonshot a reality reminds us that America was and can be again a great principled nation that leads the world on to new frontiers. - Robert Dallek, author of Franklin D. Roosevelt and An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963An epic narrative: it is the sweeping story of how humankinds impetus for space exploration evolved from the early visionaries in Russia, Germany, and the United States at the dawn of the 20th century through the scientific and technological achievements--albeit associated human horrors--of two world wars.a particularly intimate and fascinating read. - James R. Hansen, author of First Man: The Life of Neil A. ArmstrongPrepare to recall what it was like to be inspired and thrilled by American greatness. Doug Brinkley recounts, with deep research and exciting narrative, the bold spirit and faith in innovation that was embodied in Kennedys decision to launch a mission to the moon. His vision restored a vitality to America, somethi. N� de r�f. du vendeur DADAX0062655078
