Red Moon Rising

Most accounts highlight the space race as a technological competition, but this book delves into political and espionage battles. I'm curious what led the author to explore these hidden conflicts.

The detailed stories of individual spies and scientists made the era come alive for me. Did others find this approach changed how they viewed that period?

There must have been countless secrets and declassified documents. I'm interested in how the author chose which stories to highlight and how that shaped the book’s narrative.
