Brings V-2 Development to Life

Unless you worked on the V-2, you'll never know how self-serving this portrayal of the V-2's development is. While other Nazi officers pushed for the A-4's (V-2's) killing ability, Dornberger says his team of scientists was only obsessed with traveling to the stars. Regardless of the author's motives though, this book assembles great technical details on a pivotal piece of rocket technology. He evenly explains how corporate struggles affected the V-2's development. By anyone's words the V-2 was remarkable, but Dornberger's first-hand account tells it like none other could.
