Description

The first book to capture both the Soviet and Americn sides of the event that started the space race and changed our world. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union secretly launched the earth's first artificial moon. Although no larger than a basketball and powered by a car battery, the orbit of the satellite Sputnik was an event large enough to stun the world. 'Red Moon Rising' is the true story-replete with larger-than-life characters and dramatic turns-of the Space Race, and the underlying politics that keep the threat of nuclear war a specter hovering above every action. Brezenski has drawn form newly opened Soviet archives, memoirs and other previously unavailable source material to tell a story as compelling as any suspense novel but with historical lessons that can be applied to politics in the present day.
