Very interesting overview of the events leading up to and resulting from the launch of the first satellite to orbit (though mostly from an American perspective). Dickson mixes thorough research with just enough interpretation. Excellent read.
Next up in my #spaceracereading: Starman: The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin.
