In this book, part diary and recollection, T. Keith Glennan--the first administrator of NASA--relates the story of how he and others both inside and outside of the agency worked within the circumstances created by the Sputnik crisis to plan and organize a viable space program that ultimately put 12 Americans on the Moon. In the process, Glennan also reveals a great deal about Eisenhower as a human.
