<p><b>Tom Wolfe at his very best" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>), <i>The Right Stuff </i>is t</b><b>he basis for the 1983 Oscar Award-winning film of the same name and the 8-part Disney+ TV mini-series.<br><br></b><b>From "America's nerviest journalist" (<i>Newsweek</i>)--a breath-taking epic, a magnificent adventure story, and an investigation into the true heroism and courage of the first Americans to conquer space. "<br></b><br>Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure; namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers, that made <i>The Right Stuff </i>a classic.</p>
