Summary Note
The flight of Apollo 11 made Aldrin one of the most famous persons on our planet, yet few people know the rest of this true American hero?s story. In Magnificent Desolation, Aldrin not only gives us a harrowing first-person account of the lunar landing that came within seconds of failure and the ultimate insider?s view of life as one of the superstars of America?s space program, he also opens up with remarkable candor about his more personal trials?and eventual triumphs?back on Earth.
