Book Description
With a foreword by Neil Armstrong & introduction by Tom Hanks.
In this unique dual autobiography, Apollo 15 commander David Scott and
cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, the first man to ever walk in space, recount their
exceptional lives and careers spent on the cutting edge of science and space
exploration, and their participation in the greatest technological race ever
- to land a man on the Moon. With each mission fraught with perilous risks,
and each space program touched by tragedy, these parallel tales of adventure
and heroism read like a modern-day thriller. They reveal, in a very personal
way, the drama of one of the most ambitious contests ever embarked on by
man, set against the conflict that once held the world in suspense: the
clash between communism and Western democracy. Through the men’s memoirs,
their courage emerges from their perseverance in times of extraordinary
difficulty and danger.
