Author	Topic: Books about Apollo politics and policy
pupnik Member Posts: 114 From: Maryland Registered: Jan 2014	posted 03-10-2018 11:36 AM Having read "After Apollo" not too long ago I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books that dealt with the politics and policy of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs? The kind of Presidential/Congressional level stuff.

McDougall and perhaps also "The Man Who Ran the Moon: James E. Webb, NASA, and the Secret History of Project Apollo" by Piers Bizony.
