Book Summary and Reviews of Red Moon Rising by Matthew Brzezinski

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. The writing is fast-paced and crisp, the stakes high and the tension palpable." - PW.

"Matthew Brzezinski’s reportorial skills and smooth writing propel the narrative forward at the perfect pitch. Red Moon Rising is a combustibly entertaining mixture of scientific daring, politics, Cold War duels, and big-time personalities." - Neal Bascomb, author of Red Mutiny.

"For narrative power that ranks with Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action and Richard Rhodes's The Making of the Atomic Bomb, masterpieces both, Red Moon Rising is the must-read Sputnik book." - The Providence Journal.

"If there were any justice in the world of publishing, this spectacular and accessible history of the space race would be rocketing to the top of best-seller lists." - USA Today.
