"The veteran space reporter has never lost his enthusiasm
or excitement.... Oberg displays his insider's knowledge of
Soviet activities.... Amusing, colorful material.... All told,
a compendium that will please its intended audience" - Kirkus
Reviews
"[Oberg is] one of the most prolific and talented writers
in the space field.... [The book] is easy reading -- not pages
of technospeak. It is peppered with nuggets of information
I've never read elsewhere.... On some tidbits of Soviet data,
you'd swear Oberg receives private briefings from the cosmonauts....
Readers will find The New Race for Space a valuable addition
to their library. It stands as a milestone book for where
American and Soviet space exploits stand today, and a signpost
of what's coming over the space horizon" - Leonard David,
