COTTON TO ROCKETS: How War Transformed Alabama from an Agrarian State into an Aerospace Powerhouse - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Cotton to Rockets tells the true story of how North Alabama changed from a Depression-era agricultural region of cotton fields, red clay, and mule-powered farms into one of America’s most important centers of military and aerospace technology.
The book traces that transformation through the TVA, World War II mobilization, Huntsville Arsenal, Redstone Arsenal, Operation Paperclip, the Cold War missile program, Explorer 1, NASA, Marshall Space Flight Center, Saturn V, and the Apollo missions.
Along the way, it keeps the focus not only on famous names and historic machines, but on the farmers, displaced families, workers, machinists, technicians, soldiers, engineers, women, and Black Alabamians whose lives were changed by the same forces reshaping the state.
It is a story of war, technology, federal investment, moral complexity, and ordinary people living through extraordinary change.
From cotton fields to the Moon—in one generation.
