I enjoyed this book. I have read a lot on the "space race," so I am not sure I learned much.

Good listening for the enthusiast

Fun stuff if you're a fan of space flight or rockets. More of a historical perspetive than technical detail. Learned more about what actually happened, what the Russians were up to, etc., than I ever knew (and I remember watching it all live!).
