From "America's nerviest journalist" (Newsweek)--a breath-taking epic; a magnificent adventure story; and an investigation into the true heroism and courage of the first Americans to conquer space. "Tom Wolfe at his very best" (The New York Times Book Review)Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon; but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure; namely; what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space; on the moon; and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this; the inner life of the astronauts; that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers; that made The Right Stuff a classic.

SitterMy father was in Cabanatuan Prison Camp; volunteered to stay behind with the Alamo Scouts and a critically wounded Ranger battalion surgeon.

I enjoyed the story of his start in World war 2 and all the stories thru Vietnam. This man and all the others like him are true American heroes to me and my family.
