About this book

In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made history after becoming the first human to cross into outer space. While the feat was certainly a phenomenal achievement for all mankind, it was also first blood in a battle between Cold War rivals the USSR and the United States of America, as both nations sought to outdo the other and journey further from the Earth than humanity had ever gone before.

Beginning in 1961, this race to space book recounts every milestone and memorable mission in the quest to put a man on the moon. Composed of pages originally printed in the Daily and Sunday Telegraph, this book offers a rare window into exactly how the space race was perceived by the press and the public throughout the 1960s.
