Sobre este artículo
338+[1 biographic] pages with frontispiece and and photographs. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in quarter blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine over blue blind-stamped boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In this first candid "inside" look at the human side of the space program, it is the story of Buzz Aldrin, who returned to earth from the historic first landing on the moon to begin a long and troubled odyssey--an ordeal that involved a secret mental depression and the near dissolution of his marriage. It is the revelation, in Aldrin's own words, of one of the most daring exploits in history and of what happened afterward: The intense training. The celebrated first touchdown on the moon. The instant--and unexpected--fame and notoriety, and the difficult adjustment of becoming a public personality. The demanding world-wide public relations tour for NASA for which his rigid training, from West Point through the astronaut corps, had never prepared him. The near impossibility of reconciling his public image as a hero to the realities of being a husband, father and pilot -academician. Condition: Previous owner's name on front end paper, sunning to head edges else a very good copy in like jacket.
