We've comprehensively compiled reviews of A Man on the Moon from the world's leading experts.
Marcus Chown It’s a series of interviews with all the astronauts that have been to the moon. (Source)
Christopher Riley Andrew Chaikin writes about all the difficulty of trying to invent all of this stuff at that time. He’s a brilliant writer and journalist. He took the time, back in the early 1990s, to go around and interview as many of the key players—including the astronauts themselves—who turned this dream into a reality. That, to me, is what makes A Man on the Moon the really definitive biography of Apollo, because many of those people, sadly, have died now. He has this ultimate record of what it was all about and what it meant to those that did it. (Source)
Philip Plait It’s a history of the Apollo missions, telling why we went to the moon, what happened when we got there, and why we stopped going after Apollo 17. I could not put it down. (Source)
Jason Kottke I will always be a total space nerd and this is a great history of the Apollo program. (Source)
