Deke! An Autobiography by Donald K. Slayton and Michael Cassutt is a unique insight into the life of one of America's most influential astronauts. Deke Slayton, who was part of the first seven Mercury astronauts, played a pivotal role in shaping the US manned space program. This autobiography offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the space program during its most exciting era. With his own words and those of his colleagues, Deke Slayton shares his experiences and knowledge of how the programme functioned. The result is a fascinating account that fills a significant gap in understanding the US space programme's history. For anyone interested in the history of space exploration, this book provides a valuable perspective on the key decisions and events that shaped the programme.
