An insider's history

Written by the former public affairs officer of Martin Marietta Corporation, this book covers brilliantly the history of the various companies that joined together from the beginning of aviation to the Shuttle missions. The narrative ends just before the merger with Lockheed. Although written as a corporate history, the text is lively and a ripping good read, especially in the first half. It doesn't get bogged down in corporate details nor does it hide the players' human sides. Few aerospace histories give the business side as well as this terrific book.
