"Far more than a history of lunar exploration . . . [Hurt] is at his best in the deft sketches of the astronauts-as they were and as they became."-
Chicago Tribune
Between December 1968 and December 1972, twenty-four men captured the imagination of the world as they voyaged to the moon. In
For All Mankind,Harry Hurt III presents a dramatic, engrossing, and expansive account of those journeys. Based on extensive research and exclusive interviews with the Apollo astronauts,
For All Mankindremains one of the most comprehensive and revealing firsthand accounts of space travel ever assembled. In their own words, the astronauts share the sights, sounds, thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams they experienced during their incredible voyages. In a compelling narrative structured as one trip to the moon, Harry Hurt recounts all the drama and danger of the lunar voyages, from the anxiety of the astronauts' prelaunch procedures through the euphoria of touchdown on the lunar surface.
Updated with a new introduction by the author for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing,
For All Mankindis both an extraordinary adventure story and an important historical document.
"Hurt's timely book is like an instant replay of the dramatic moon flight years . . . Hurt tells us of the hardships and the successes of the Apollo program, the remarkable journey to the moon, of the astronauts and technicians who made it possible and the goals of the nation in space."-
Houston Chronicle
"The meat here lies in the lunar voyage itself, an irresistible mix of danger, courage, tedium, and spectacle, evoked with unprecedented detail by those who went there."-
Kirkus Reviews
