(More customer reviews)I am a Russian physicist with experience of some years working in Soviet/Russian aerospace R&D. The book "Blazing the Trail" is amazing at least due to two advantages. The first one is that I have never seen such an excellent description of the early Soviet space and rocket history, including in the Russian literature, and the second is that the style of writing is so lush that creates an attractive movie of rocketry development. Complementarily, the text is highly factual and technically detailed. It is like a review article in a scientific journal without any BS, as Americans would say. Having the history of rockets and space in all-around-a-world space capable countries in one book makes it very, very useful and convenient.
