Title Description
"The Right Stuff" is a quality beyond bravery. It's men like Chuck Yeager, fastest man on earth; Pete Conrad, with his outside sense of humor; Gus Grissom, who nearly lost it when his capsule sank...and John Glenn, the only space traveler whose apple-pie image wasn't a lie.

"This is Tom Wolfe at his very best. It is technically accurate, learned, cheeky, risky, touching, tough, compassionate, nostalgic, worshipful, jingoistic--THE RIGHT STUFF is superb." (The New York Times)

A bit of history, a bit of science and a bunch of fun. I loved the book.

This is a detailed look at the Americans who made the first trip into space. It is well researched, and very well told. The reader is very good. If you liked the movie, you'll love this book. The book has all the suspense and drame of the movie and much more character development.
