| Publisher Description: If one were to ask the average American of today to describe their impressions of the 1960's they might talk about a time of dissention and unrest... a time of hopelessness... a time of war abroad and assassinations at home.... Quite possibly it would be seen as a time of trouble... or a time of darkness.... Supporting evidence would substantiate all of those thoughts. But the 1960's era was also a time of great promise and accomplishment--on July 20, 1969 our nation achieved the goal set by President John F. Kennedy, of, "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth." Come along as prolific author, Paul Boyce, recreates those events--telling the story as only one with first hand knowledge can...much of the content of this work was seen through his own eyes. Learn how a group of dedicated people from the Government, Military and Industry were able to transform President Kennedy's challenge from a seemingly impossible dream into a reality in little more than eight years. Moon Shotwill strengthen your pride in our great nation as you follow the events of what mayarguably be the most noble and significant achievement of all time. |
