4.0 out of 5 stars Window to the Development of Chinese Space Program, February 7, 2002

This review is from: The Chinese Space Programme: From Conception to Future Capabilities (Wiley-Praxis Series in Space Science and Technology) (Hardcover)

This book is on the history of modern Chinese space program. With amazing details, this book record every step of Chinese space endeavor, from early souding rocket experiment to the future plan of lauching astronauts. The great contribution of this book is that it contains precious data, which shed lights on some blackholes of China studies. It is of great value to those who are intested in Chinese space programs. And so far it is the most precise and comprehensive book in this field, although it lacks of motivation analysis.
