The first Americans in space--Yeager, Conrad, Grissom, and Glenn--battle the Russians for control of the heavens and put their lives on the line to demonstrate a quality beyond courage, in this classic by Wolfe.
Wolfe Tom James Books
Tom Wolfe was a pioneering figure in the New Journalism movement of the 1960s and 1970s. His distinctive style, characterized by free association and onomatopoeia, became his trademark. Wolfe delved into the inner workings of the human mind, exploring the unconscious decisions people make and examining eccentricities of human behavior and language. His work, which also delved into questions of social status, is considered unparalleled in the American literary canon.
