So it seems only fitting that Norman Mailer—the literary provocateur who altered the landscape of American nonfiction—wrote the most wide-ranging, far-seeing chronicle of the Apollo 11 mission. A classic chronicle of America’s reach for greatness in the midst of the Cold War, Of a Fire on the Moon compiles the reportage Mailer published between 1969 and 1970 in Life magazine: gripping firsthand dispatches from inside NASA’s clandestine operations in Houston and Cape Kennedy; technical insights into the magnitude of their awe-inspiring feat; and prescient meditations that place the event in human context as only Mailer could.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for Of a Fire on the Moon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“The gift of a genius . . . a twentieth-century American epic—a Moby Dick of space.”—New York\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Mailer’s account of Apollo 11 stands as a stunning image of human energy and purposefulness. . . .
