French, Francis / Burgess, Colin. Into That Silent Sea: Trailblazers of the Space Era, 1961-1965. With a Foreword by Paul Haney. First Edition. Lincoln / London, University of Nebraska Press, 2007. 16 x 23.5cm. (27), 397 pages. Original quarter-clothbound hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Very minor signs of wear to edges but otherwise excellent condition. It was a time of bold new technology, historic moments, and international jousting on the final frontier. But it was also a time of human drama, of moments less public but no less dramatic in the lives of those who made the golden age of space flight happen. These are the moments and the lives that Into That Silent Sea captures, a book that tells the intimate stories of the men and women, American and Russian, who made the space race their own and gave the era its compelling character. Through dozens of interviews and access to Russian and American official documents and family records, the authors bring to life the experiences that shaped the lives of the first astronauts and cosmonauts and forever changed their world and ours.
