Reviews
"Technically accurate, learned, cheeky, risky, touching, tough, compassionate, nostalgic, worshipful, jingoistic . . . The Right Stuff is superb." -- The New York Times Book Review "One of the most romantic and thrilling books ever written about men who put themselves in peril." -- The Boston Globe "An exhilarating flight into fear, love, beauty, and fiery death . . . Magnificent." -- People "Absolutely first class . . . Improbable as some of Wolfe's tales seem, I know he's telling it like it was." -- The Washington Post Book World "Crammed with inside poop and racy incident . . . fast cars, booze, astro groupies, the envies and injuries of the military caste system . . . Wolfe lays it all out in brilliantly staged Op Lit scenes." -- Time "Splendid . . . It shows our propensity to manufacture heroes, and, just as quickly, to forget them; it shows how a scientific program was exploited for political advantage; it provides a revealing character study of seven exceptional Americans." -- The Saturday Review
