Sputnik The Shock of the Century (Science Matters) Paperback - 2003
by Paul Dickson
On October 4, 1957, Americans looked up at the sky and saw the future. The Soviets, our cold war enemy, had beaten us into space... Using recently declassified documents and a wide range of other sources, this "informative and readable book" (Christian Science Monitor) takes us to a time when the U.S. felt suddenly vulnerable, and offers a suspenseful and inspiring account of its response to the challenge of a suddenly changed world.
First line
Listen now," said the NBC radio network announcer on the night of October 4, 1957, "for the sound that forevermore separates the old from the new."
