Free BONUS Inside!

Wernher von Braun was a rare and complex figure. He went on to become one of the most prominent figures not just in one country but in two. Although the first half of his life and his contributions to Nazi Germany remain extremely controversial, it can’t be denied that he was a pioneer. He oversaw the development of the first long-range guided ballistic missile, the V-2, which became a terrifying weapon in Nazi Germany’s arsenal. After the war, von Braun and many of his colleagues were brought to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip. Here, he became a key figure in the Saturn V rocket program that first sent astronauts to the Moon in 1969. His expertise in rocketry helped propel the United States into the space age, and his innovations are still celebrated today as milestones in human achievement.

Unbeknownst to many, von Braun was also a skilled musician. He was something of a child prodigy, in fact, expected to go far in the field of music, only to embark upon a quest to explore the heavens instead. As much as he loved science, later in life he also found religion and went on the record to state that he saw no conflict between the two. Wernher von Braun was indeed a man of many pursuits, some of which have not aged well. But he was a man of consequence all the same. In this book, we explore his life in full.
