Apollo is the behind-the-scenes story of an epic achievement. Based on exhaustive research that included many exclusive interviews, Apollo tells how America went from a standing start to a landing on the moon at a speed that now seems impossible. It describes the unprecedented engineering challenges that had to be overcome to create the mammoth Saturn V and the facilities to launch it. It takes you onto the gantries at Cape Canaveral and behind the consoles of Houston's Mission Control as it relives the tragedy of the fire on Apollo 1, the first descent to the lunar surface, and the rescue of Apollo 13.
A story of daring bordering on recklessness on the ground and life-and-death decisions made in seconds during the flights, Apollo captures the drama of humans leaving Earth for the first time.

The book named names of many and what they did but not all. It would have taken a book several times this to do that . But they would still have missed many.
My father, the late, Harry L. Derflinger, Jr. was in charge of part of the design, development, and testing of.the second stage of the Saturn rocket at Seal Beach Ca, So I had a personal interest in the events of this book.
A truly stellar history of the Apollllo program
