Using official Marine Corps unit histories, CIA documents, and his weekly letters home, the author relies almost exclusively on primary sources in providing an accurate and honest account.

Per millenni gli uomini sono stati stregati dal fascino della Luna e hanno immaginato un'infintà di modi per raggiungerla.
