Publisher's Note
When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, millions of Americans became bound together in a single, historic moment. Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. In "The Challenger Launch Decision", Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skullduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake. This powerful work explains why the Challenger tragedy must be reexamined and offers an unexpected warning about the hidden hazards of living in this technological age.

Industry Reviews
"In this thorough, thoughtful book, Vaughan explains the national tragedy of the Challenger disaster, describes the inner workings of the space program, and builds a new field - the sociology of mistakes.:
Rosabeth Moss Kanter

"A definitive account of both the human drama and the institutional causes behind this signal event of our times."
Stephen Jay Gould

"...Vaughan provides much original research, including detailed interviews with many of the key players."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Frederic Golden
