The Correspondents
The Correspondents: Six Women Writers on the Front Lines of World War II
by Judith Mackrell
Great Read, One overbearing error (2/4/2022)
On the bottom of page 213, she lists the date of the the attack on Pearl Harbor as December 7 1942. Otherwise it's a VERY GOOD READ...
Shoot for the Moon
Shoot for the Moon: The Space Race and the Extraordinary Voyage of Apollo 11
by James Donovan
OUTSTANDING BOOK ON APOLLO 11 (3/25/2019)
I believe this is the most definitive book on the Space Race and America's Crowning Achievement Apollo 11. Very Taut Narrative, gives the "Human Quality" to the men who blazed the trail to the Epic Moon landing. There will be other books written but THIS ON IS THE BEST!!!!!
