MEDIA REVIEWS
Praise for R.D. Hall's Soyuz: a Universal Spacecraft
The Aerospace Professional
"Reading this extremely well researched book will show how this admirable concept,once very much on course to reach the moon earlier than the USA,became a victim of it's own diversity. The authors lead us through this tangled web of Russian design and decision process,which does evoke some sympathy for the frustrated engineers concerned and for a facet of the Russian programme,which could have promise so much. This is a superb acquisition for any library or student of the field."
