Tragedy and Triumph in Orbit: The Eighties and Early Nineties - Springer Praxis Books
Ben Evans
This book explores the continued rivalry between the two superpowers during this period, with each attempting to outdo the other - the Americans keen to build a space station, the Soviets keen to build a space shuttle - and places their efforts in the context of a bitterly divisive decade, which ultimately led them into partnership.
