VON BRAUN(ISBN=9780307389374) 英文原版 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

　　Michael J. Neufeld, curator and space historian at the

Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, delivers a brilliantly

nuanced biography of Wernher von Braun.

Chief rocket engineer of the Third Reich and one of the fathers

of the U.S. space program, Wernher von Braun is a source of

consistent fascination. Glorified as a visionary and vilified as a

war criminal, he was a man of profound moral complexities, whose

intelligence and charisma were coupled with an enormous and, some

would say, blinding ambition. Based on new sources, Neufeld's

biography delivers a meticulously researched and authoritative

portrait of the creator of the V-2 rocket and his times, detailing

how he was a man caught between morality and progress, between his

dreams of the heavens and the earthbound realities of his life.
