About This Item
A flawless first edition, first printing of an exceptional biography of Neil Armstrong. Hardcover and Dust Jacket as new. Inscribed to a Naval Aviator: "To Reese, My Regards and Best Wishes to one of the Nation's finest- a Naval Aviator!" James N. Hansen, January 24, 2006
Synopsis
On July 20, 1969, the world stood still to watch thirty-eight-year-old American astronaut Neil A. Armstrong become the first person to step on the surface of another heavenly body. Perhaps no words in human history became better known than those few he uttered at that historic moment. In a penetrating exploration of American hero worship, Hansen addresses the complex legacy of the First Man, as an astronaut and an individual.
