Description

He dreamed of sending humanity to the stars, but built his first rockets in service of a nightmare.
Before astronauts walked on the Moon... before the thunder of Saturn V shook the skies... There was a brilliant, ambitious boy in Germany staring through a telescope, dreaming of space. His name was Wernher von Braun and his story is as astonishing as it is unsettling.

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.
