Korolev: How One Man Masterminded the Soviet Drive to Beat America to the Moon. Королев: как один человек вдохновил Советы на стремление победить Америку в космической гонке до Луны. Джеймс Харфорд (James Harford) ; John Wiley and Sons, Ltd

August 21, 1957. A Soviet rocket propels a simulated nuclear warhead from Baikonur to the Kamchatka Peninsula, a distance of more than four thousand miles. Six weeks later the world is stunned by the launch of Sputnik. While the United States furiously steps up its own space program, scientists and engineers everywhere wonder how the Soviet Union was able to achieve such a coup. The answer lay within the mind of one man: Korolev.
