The Sputnik Challenge
Divine, Robert A. (Professor of History, Professor of History, University of Texas, Austin)
Divine provides a fascinating look at Eisenhower's handling of the early space race--a story of public uproar, secret U-2 flights, bungled missile tests, the first spy satellite, political maneuvering, and scientific triumph. The author re-creates the national hysteria over the first two Sputnik launches and the creation of NASA.
