Revue de presse :
Praise for A Ball, a Dog, and a Monkey
"[D'Antonio's] fast-paced narrative incorporates first-hand accounts of everyday citizens caught up in the excitement of America's push into space."
- Publishers Weekly
"D'Antonio skillfully captures both the energy and the urgency of the US drive toward space. His narrative is further enlivened by firsthand accounts from US citizens recalling their excitement during those heady days."
- Marjorie Kehe, Christian Science Monitor
"D'Antonio's narrative is brilliant and, best of all, extremely entertaining."
- Larry Cox, Tucson Citizen
Praise for Michael D'Antonio's Hershey:
'Thorough and entirely readable.' The New York Times Book Review
'Hershey is a valuable addition to the literature of American business and philanthropy.' The Washington Post Book World
'This volume will satisfy all.' Publishers Weekly
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Full of exploding rockets, political wrangling, interservice rivalries, space cowboys, American spies, UFO sightings, Florida boomtowns and space-themed beauty pageants, the years 1957 and 1958 were a time when the US raced to match the Soviets in space and recover its pride.
After having gone through archives and film footage and having interviewed many of the scientists, reporters, and others who were involved in the first year of the space race, D'Antonio brings to life all the people, places, and stories of a time when the U.S. went space-crazy and a flying monkey helped save the day. His book revives the early days of space with all the zaniness and urgency of the time.
