When the Soviet Union orbited Sputnik I on October 4, 1957, it shocked the United States. The reactions ranged from mindless, uninformed panic to deeply thoughtful questionings of the structure of American science, technology, and national security and the goals and values of American education. Recognizing the dimensions of the crisis, President Eisenhower made immediate moves to reassure the American people. One of his first acts was to appoint James Killian to serve the president directly as his advisor on science and technology. In this personal memoir, Killian recounts his activities in advising Eisenhower and other presidents. He conducts the reader on a guided tour through corridors of power in the White House that are not often opened to the public with candid portraits of national leaders and behind-the-scenes manipulators of the levers of policy. The book includes narrative accounts of the beginnings of the U.S. space program and the founding of NASA, the ongoing development of the intercontinental ballistic missile and other weapons systems, and the reopening with the Soviet Union of discussions on limiting nuclear tests and other arms control initiatives.

Description:
Binding is generally fresh and clean with only minor signs of wear. There is a "bubble" on the face hard by the spine near the top. The dust jacket is price clipped and shows general rubbing, wrinkling, edge & hinge wear etc. About 12mm of the jacket head cap is chipped away(now since replaced with removable 'matching' backing complete with missing title portion; not perfect in execution but perhaps better than looking upon a large chunk of white paper!); the tail also shows chipping and splitting along the hinges(this area also has matching backing paper to fill in). A 13 mm tear is present on the upper edge of the front wrap. No tape repairs/re-enforcements. The front end papers contain some very faint spotting. Interior pages are clean. Most leaves are unopened: (12 "signatures"). Paper is almost like card stock and is beautifully letterpress printed by the estimable firm of Jarrolds & Sons.
