Synopsis
The first authorized biography of pioneer pilot and astronaut Neil Armstrong gets at the truth behind the myth of the first person to walk on the moon. The book reviews Armstrong's childhood and then covers the entirety of Armstrong's impressive career, from his training in engineering to his service as a fighter pilot in the Korean War and work as a test pilot for NASA, which culminated in his historic journey to the lunar surface. It also delves into the personal life of Armstrong and his family, or at least, as much as this deeply private man will allow.

Industry Reviews
"In this powerful, unrelenting biography of a man of no particularly spectacular talent yet who stands as a living testimony to everyday grit and determination...Hansen has achieved something quite remarkable." (starred review)
Publishers Weekly (08/08/2005)

"Hansen's big biography does a good job of showing how and why Armstrong has entered the history books."
Kirkus (08/15/2005)

"[A] fine authorized biography brimming with groundbreaking research, fresh anecdotes and fair-minded analysis....Hansen should be commended for decoding the enigmatic Armstrong: a space hero short on words but sky-high on Midwestern integrity."
New York Times Book Review - Douglas Brinkley (11/06/2005)
