5.0 out of 5 stars An Illuminated History and Reference Book, February 23, 2000
This review is from: Rockets of the World (Hardcover)
Peter Alway is a professor of physics with a devotion to all things rocket. His book, "Rockets of the World" explores the history of rocketry from the beginning of the 20th century through WW2, the race to the moon, to the present day. Not only a very interesting read but also a valuable reference tool. Written in encyclopaedic format this book allows the reader to explore the relationships and pedigrees of rockets while learning of their manufacturers, dimensions, appearances, and successes.

It's the only book quite like it in the world. I use it regularly for consultation and citing.
