DayThis well written account of the epic moment of mankind's first journey to another planet resonated with me on many levels. The quality of the well researched and engagingly presented story; the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s ; the inspiration of what can be achieved when a common vision exists; and the lack of that vision we seem to have 50 years later all combine to be an entertaining and thoughtful reading experience.​ Enjoy!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What really happened on Apollo 8By William SchradeThis is one of the best Apollo Astronaut accounts I have read. It is told from the personal perspective of the astronauts using detailed and focused interviewed material from the astronauts and others who had personal participation in this flight. Kluger weaves this material into not only a record of the Apollo 8 flight but into personal historical narrative. We experience this Apollo mission as if told by the astronauts as they lived it with personal feelings and opinions openly stated. It makes the so-called autobiographies from many astronauts appear wooden and totally white-washed of personal feelings and opinions. Obviously I highly recommend this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Compelling and enlightening.By JCMJeffrey Kruger's Apollo 8 is a must read for any one interested in America's space program and the daring flight to and around the moon. Kruger's story is thorough and enlightening. He uses a modicum of space jargon and capture the individual and collective perform and of Borman; Lovell; and Anders. Fast paced and difficult to put down. It truly is an inspirational tail of the first men to venture into orbit around the moon.
