SPRINGER PRAXIS BOOKS THE RACE TO THE MOON CH...

The story of the famed race to the Moon between the US and the USSR has been told countless
times. The strategies of these two superpowers have often been paralleled in a way that
highlights their fight for dominance and efforts to develop needed new technologies. This book
will show how beneath these surface similarities  the two competing nations employed very
different core tactics. It provides a new perspective of the history of the space race by
analyzing that history through philately - that is  from the images on postage stamps  post
cards  and letters in circulation at that time. Through this fascinating historical visual
record  the author shows how the propaganda-heavy approach of the USSR eventually lost out to
the more pragmatic approach of the United States.
