Description:
Out of the seven Apollo expeditions to land on
the moon, six of the efforts succeeded outstandingly and one failed. Lost
Moon is the story of the failure and the incredible heroism of the three
astronauts who brought their crippled vehicle back to earth. This account – written
by Jim Lovell, commander of the mission, and his talented coauthor, Jeffrey
Kluger – captures the high drama of that unique event and is told in the
vernacular of the men in the sky and on the ground who masterminded this
triumph of heroism, intellectual brilliance, and raw courage. A thrilling story
of a thrilling episode in the history of space exploration.
