Story3.5 out of 5 stars 7,972
It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

Watch the show instead
Reviewed: 11-21-20
I started the show recently and figured why not do the book. Show is great, book is terrible. Theres no “punchline” at the end or climatic moment. Very disappointed and kudos to the show writers turning this boring book into a great show.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 59
In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part - based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets' launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space, through President Kennedy's enthusiasm and later doubts, to the astronauts' intense competition to leave the first footprint.

Not Much Apollo 11
Reviewed: 08-17-19
A vast majority of this book covers Mercury, Gemini, and the other Apollo missions. Very disappointed in a book calling itself the inside story but didn’t really go in depth of Apollo 11. This book should be renamed “A brief history of NASA from Mercury through Apollo”
