Re: Soviet/Russian Space Book List - English
A new book in the Springer Praxis Books/Space Exploration series is scheduled for release on April 1, 2009. The title: The First Soviet Cosmonaut Team: Their Lives, Legacy, and Historical Impact by Colin Burgess and Rex Hall. Approx. 355 p. 170 illus., softcover. ISBN: 978-0-387-84823-5.
About this book:
I have known Rex Hall for twenty-five years and there is no finer authority on the Soviet/Russian Cosmonaut Team than him. This book will truly be a valuable reference for all serious students of the Soviet/Russian Space Program. :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup I encourage other forum members to post the titles of their favorite Soviet/Russian Space Program books regardless of which languages they are published in. This is a great forum to share ideas and information, and I for one am anxious to hear from other forum members on this topic.! :):D:thumbsup

Re: Soviet/Russian Space Book List - English
In 1977 I attended the Soviet National Exhibition while it was in Los Angeles.
Though the following are booklets not books ,they captured my interest. |
