Challenger

Adam Higginbotham

£10.99


On the morning of the 28th of January 1986, just 73 seconds into flight, the space shuttle Challenger exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Like the assassination of JFK, the disaster is a defining moment in 20th century history - one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Based on extensive archival research and meticulous, original reporting, this book follows a handful of central protagonists - including each of the seven members of the doomed crew - through the years leading up to the accident, a detailed account of the tragedy itself and into the investigation that followed.
