The other side of the space race.,
By
This review is from: Sputnik and the Soviet Space Challenge (Paperback)
Asif Siddiqi covers the first laps of the space race from the Soviet side. This tome goes deeper than just the hardware by covering some of the personalities involved on the Soviet side of the space industry. If you are interested in the history of early space exploration, this book fills in many of the holes that most Western histories leave unexplored.

Epic Sovietic,
By Jose C. A. Rodrigues - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sputnik and the Soviet Space Challenge (Paperback)
Great book, which describes the development the entire Soviet space program, its virtues and flaws!A great book for those who want to know more background on this issue, and a true story of what happened behind the "iron curtain"! Apology politics aside, but simply a chronic and very interesting history of this nation! 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful
