"I lived at Edwards [Air Force Base] for four years and improbable as some of Tom's tales seem, I know he's telling it like it was.... He's obviously done a lot of homework--too much is some cases.... Some of this stuff could only be interesting to Al Shepard's mother, while the first part of the book is a paean to guts, to the 'right stuff,' it is followed by a chronology--but one that might have profited form a little tighter editing. But it's still light-years ahead of the endless drivel Mailer has put out about the Apollo program and in places the Wolfe genius really shines."Wolfe, Tom is the author of 'Right Stuff A Novel', published 2001 under ISBN 9780553381351 and ISBN 0553381350.
