*By Boris Chertok. *Series editor Asif Siddiqi

Much has been written in the West on the history of the Soviet space 
program but few Westerners have read direct first-hand accounts of the 
men and women who were behind the many Russian accomplishments in 
exploring space. The memoirs of Academician Boris Chertok, translated 
from the original Russian, fills that gap. In these writings, spread 
over four volumes, Chertok not only describes and reflects upon his 
experiences, but he also elicits and extracts profound insights from an 
epic story about a society’s quest to explore the cosmos.
