This is the journey of a man who dared to imagine a future beyond Earth, yet compromised everything to make that dream real. He joined the Nazi Party. He wore an SS uniform. He built weapons that rained destruction on cities... and used slave labor to do it. Then, at the war's end, he surrendered to America and became the mastermind behind the greatest space triumph in history: Apollo 11.
Was he a visionary? A villain? A patriot? A survivor?
Wernher von Braun: The Rocket Scientist Who Made the Moon His Mission and Took the Darkest Path to Get There reveals the full, gripping truth behind one of the most complicated figures of the 20th century.
From secret Nazi laboratories to the desert of Texas, from Cold War missile bases to the Moon itself-this book takes you deep inside the moral grey zones of ambition, history, and progress.
If you've ever looked at the Moon and wondered how we got there... if you crave untold stories behind turning points in history... if you believe that science should be remembered not just for what it achieves, but how-it's time to turn the page.
Discover the man who reached for the heavens... and carried the weight of Earth's darkest shadows.
