FT.com / Books - Books of the year: "Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon
By Craig Nelson
John Murray, £18.99
This punchy, popular history focuses on the Apollo programme within the context of the space race – the US and the USSR’s contest to outdo each other in space technology. Gripping, geekily detailed accounts of what it was like to ride a Saturn V or walk on another world are interspersed with a lively take on the cold war rivalry that made it happen."
