Kennedy's inspiring challenge, and America's race to the moon. On May 25, 1961, JFK made an astonishing announcement: his goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade. In this engrossing, fast-paced epic, Douglas Brinkley returns to the 1960s to recreate one of the most exciting and ambitious achievements in the history of humankind. American Moonshot brings together the extraordinary political, cultural, and scientific factors that fueled the birth and development of NASA and the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects, which shot the United States to victory in the space race against the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. Drawing on new primary source material and major interviews with many of the surviving figures who were key to America's success, Brinkley brings this fascinating history to life as never before. American Moonshot is a portrait of the brilliant men and women who made this giant leap possible, the technology that enabled us to propel men beyond earth's orbit to the moon and return them safely, and the geopolitical tensions that spurred Kennedy to commit himself fully to this audacious dream. Brinkley's ensemble cast of New Frontier characters include rocketeer Wernher von Braun, astronaut John Glenn and space booster Lyndon Johnson. A vivid and enthralling chronicle of one of the most thrilling, hopeful, and turbulent eras in the nation's history, American Moonshot is an homage to scientific ingenuity, human curiosity, and the boundless American spirit.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1408135</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1408135</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brinkley, Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1408135057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>John F.

Thanks to a five-cent government pamphlet, Tike has the know-how to build a simple adobe dwelling, a structure made from the land itself-fireproof, windproof, Dust Bowl-proof. A house of earth. Though they are one with the farm and with each other, the land on which Tike and Ella May live and work is not theirs. Due to larger forces beyond their control-including ranching conglomerates and banks-their adobe house remains painfully out of reach."--Dust jacket.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1328256</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1328256</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Guthrie, Woody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1328256057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062248398/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Windblown World]]></title><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1191386</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1191386</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kerouac, Jack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1191386057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Journals of Jack Kerouac, 1947-1954</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780670033416/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[World War II]]></title><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1183342</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1183342</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1183342057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Allied Counteroffensive, 1942-1945</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780805072471/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[World War II]]></title><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1176989</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1176989</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1176989057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Axis Assault, 1939-1942</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780805072464/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Making of America]]></title><description><![CDATA[Discusses each major era in the history of the United States and includes biographies of key people, summaries of social movements and issues, time lines, historic documents and speeches, and a guide to historic sites.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1280940</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1280940</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Johnston, Robert D.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1280940057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The History of the United States From 1492 to the Present</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781426306631/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
