An entertaining, authoritative and inspiring visual account of the first moon landing

Apollo Summary

Apollo by Matt Fitch

In 1969, humankind set foot on the moon.

Neil Armstrong, Edwin Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins carried the fire for all the world. Backed by the brightest minds in engineering and science, the three boarded a rocket and flew through the void-just to know that we could.

In Apollo, Matt Fitch, Chris Baker, and Mike Collins unpack the urban legends, the gossip, and the speculation to reveal a remarkable true story about life, death, dreams, and the reality of humanity's greatest exploratory achievement.

Writers Chris Baker and Matt Finch put in the work to thoroughly research and vet the information included in the book, and Mike Collins's crisp, detailed art helps to lend emotional depth to an already riveting and fascinating tale.
