Willy Ley: Prophet Of The Space Age - 9780813054438

Already a highly respected rocket scientist and compatriot of Wernher von Braun, Willy Ley was the author of bestselling books and at the forefront of popular science journalism. But as von Braun came onto center stage with his Saturn rockets, Ley was ostracized and excluded from the limelight by younger historians and scientists. Buss gives us the first full-length biography of Ley, presenting his contribution to modern science and science journalism.
