Trade Review‘The best book on Apollo that I have read.' -- Mike Collins, Command Module Pilot on Apollo 11
'Shoot for the Moon is sure to be a space race classic.' -- Annie Jacobsen, bestselling author & Pulitzer Prize finalist
‘A fascinating insight into the golden age of space exploration’ -- Tim Peake
‘With Shoot for the Moon, James Donovan captures it all – the science, the engineering, the clashing egos, the Cold War politics. But what's even more impressive, he does it without depriving us of the essential magic that was Apollo, this Promethean program that dared to aim as high and as far as man could go’ -- Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers, In the Kingdom of Ice, and On Desperate Ground
