“American Moonshotis masterful. Pulsing with fresh new research, Douglas Brinkley’s latest book captures that Cold War moment when America made a magnificent leap into the heavens. Brinkley weaves the presidency, biography, and science into a gripping narrative, rewarding readers with a tour-de-force of the Space Race. This is history at its best.”
—Yanek Mieczkowski, author of Eisenhower’s Sputnik Moment: The Race for Space and World Prestige
