  • Critical acclaim for the book: "Magnificent...the book will be a basic reference for historians concerned with Soviet science, technology, and politics during the Cold War." Robert Seamans, former deputy administrator, NASA
    "Through masterful research and an engaging narrative style, James Harford gives the world its first in-depth look at the man who should rightly be called the father of the Soviet space program." Norman R. Augustine, former CEO, Lockheed Martin
    "For decades, the identity of the Russian Chief Designer who shocked the world with the launching of the first Sputnik was one of the Soviet Union's best kept secrets. This book tells vividly the story of that man, Sergei Korolev, in remarkable detail, with many facts and anecdotes previously unknown in the West." Sergei Khrushchev, Visiting Senior Fellow, Brown University
