Like most people my age (64) I grew up during the 60s with an interest in space travel. Even knowing the past of the German scientists working on the program, it was easy (thanks to many government and NASA spin doctors) to either gloss over it or pretend they had been rehabilitated. This volume brings back many of those memories while filling in many of the gaps in my own knowledge.
Whether we can continue to keep space as a more cooperative area or whether we retrace our early steps and work toward annihilation is unknown. Axe does, by telling us our history in this area, provide insight into how we can (because we did once before) maintain the peace. And question just how much evil we will overlook in order to achieve goals.
