Soviet Space Exploration
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Soviet Space Exploration (1969) by William Shelton (Arthur Barker) as sold by Crappy Old Books Blast off into the musty depths of Cold War-era propaganda and speculative optimism with Soviet Space Exploration (1969) ? a charmingly outdated look at the USSR?s push to conquer the cosmos. Penned by William Shelton (and published by Arthur Barker), this relic from the Space Race era is part genuine historical account, part wide-eyed guesswork, and 100% Cold War curiosity. Expect heroic cosmonauts, lofty claims, grainy photos of unidentified machinery, and a healthy dose of Western bewilderment at how the Soviets managed to get anything into orbit without NASA?s help. It?s a snapshot of a time when space was the final frontier ? and everyone assumed the Soviets might already be living there. Dusty, dog-eared, and delightfully outdated, this Crappy Old Book is perfect for armchair historians, retro sci-fi enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys reading about the future? as imagined in 1969. Warning: Contains traces of irony, nationalism, and the smell of old paper. Ex-library book, hardback with plastic protective cover. From West Sussex County Library. Seller Inventory # 3260
