Description:
|
"Ahead of the sixtieth anniversary of the dawn of the Space Age, this revisionist study examines the development of space policy during the Eisenhower administration. It challenges traditional scholarly assessments and argues that President Eisenhower's space policies were proactive and activist rather than passive and reactive to Soviet successes"--Provided by publisher.
