Description
John Whiteside Parsons: A Life of Vision and Obsession George Pendle's biography uncovers the extraordinary life story of John Parsons, a brilliant rocket scientist whose work transformed the field of rocketry. Born with a passion for space flight, Parsons was a key innovator during the early days of rocketry. As his career took off, so did his fascination with the occult. Parsons became embroiled in the mystical community thriving in 1930s Los Angeles, and his pursuit of spiritual knowledge led him down a path of personal turmoil. His vision for space exploration was matched only by his ambition to explore the unknown, but at what cost? Parsons' life was cut short in a tragic explosion in 1952, leaving behind a legacy of genius and a complex, enigmatic figure. Pendle's book offers a fascinating account of Parsons' life, exploring the consequences of genius and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy.
