I received two copies of the book. It is very informative and certainly looks at the Space Program from an angle that is not usually discussed. In fact, it made me want to know more about what happens when something goes wrong. It also confirms that this is not an occupation for the faint of heart. It now is a proud book on my coffee table. I would suggest this book for anyone interested in the details of the Space Program, Firefighters, or anyone who know Firefighters or NASA personnel. Two Thumbs UP.
