I’ve read many books about the space program, but Mr. Kluger managed to weave the personal stories of the astronauts (especially the Commander Frank Borman), along with technical details and geopolitical influences
The book should be required reading in medical school and for those who create policy.
A sometimes fascinating, sometimes frightening book telling how our medical records are used to analysis and profit
