I
n writing a narrative of the
Apollo 11
mission, the author utilized an abundance of material made available by NASA, as well as the research efforts of the numerous individuals listed in the Bibliography—I am most appreciative of their work. My narrative is by no means a definitive history of the American and Soviet space programs. Entire volumes have been devoted to various aspects of space exploration, along with lengthy biographies of many of the individuals mentioned in this chronicle. A significant portion of this book is
rocket science,
as written by a
non-rocket scientist,
so I can only hope I did not sacrifice complexity for the sake of conciseness.
Once again, my editor, Jim Fulmer, unselfishly gave of his time, helping me craft a readable book. This is our seventh book together, and I remain privileged to call him my friend.
My wife, Anne, patiently endured another book with me, offering her unwavering support and encouragement, while, once again, reviewing my manuscript. I love her very much.
My sons, Andy and Ben, are the lights in my life. I love them more than I can put into words.
It is my sincere hope you found
The Eagle Has Landed: The Story of the Apollo 11
both entertaining and informative. Thank you for taking time to read this book.
