0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good book - but available for free elsewhereBy Brian J. SikkemaFirst off; I know this is my own fault for failing to research thoroughly before I bought. But before you spend any money on this book; be aware that it is available online; for free; legally. At only 80-some pages the download is very reasonable; and since it's such a short read it won't strain your eyes too much. I won't bother posting a link as locations change; etc; but be assured some careful searching online will come up with the links you need; straight from the Air Force.Of course there are advantages to a paper copy; especially for taking notes; etc. And I will certainly use my copy now that I have it. But it would have saved me some time and money if I had known what I know now.As for the actual book; it's a very interesting but easy read on various aspects of early military space. The book is broken down by category - surveillance; weather; communications; etc. Within each section a brief history is given to the development in that area leading up through basically the early 90s. The book is quite short; and a very quick read. A great choice for a crash course in military space history.
