Taschen Norman Mailer: MoonFire - Photojournalism Book

Relive the most historic event of the 20th century through the eyes of a master. On July 20, 1969, the world watched as Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins achieved the impossible by landing on the Moon. This monumental feat was the result of a decade of intense training, a massive staff of 400,000 engineers and scientists, and the most powerful rocket ever launched. Norman Mailer, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, was hired by LIFE magazine to document this unprecedented moment. In MoonFire, Mailer captures the men, the mood, and the machinery behind the mission. This Taschen publication brings his unique perspective to life, offering a deep look at the scale and emotion of the Apollo mission. It is a must-have for collectors of photojournalism and those interested in the history of space exploration.
