This book humanizes the whole astronaut experience. Written with a deft touch, that goes beyond the pleathora of books that are out there concerning the experience of being an astronaut...I've read almost all the books there are on this subject... and this one is far more intimate, in that it tackles a very broad subject with a real glimplse into what it really took to be a "pioneer" in the unknown reaches of space...In essance it made me "feel" these guys..

I recently finished reading "Into that Silent Sea: Trail blazers of the Space Era 1961-1965". All I can say is this is one of the best books about the personal stories of those involved in the "Golden Age" of manned spaceflight. Well researched and very well written Colin Burgess and Francis French have done an incredible job writing an interesting and very informative book. Fresh, with a new take "Into that Silent Sea..." does an amazing job of telling the story of not just the astronauts, and the Soviet Cosmonauts, but also the lesser known but no less important stories of others involved in the space program. Of particular interest was the segment about Dee O'Hara the astronauts nurse, and the women of the Mercury 13, a, long forgot, but very important story. I also enjoyed the accounts of the Soviet Cosmonauts, a subject that does not recieve enough credit. You do not have to be interested in manned spaceflight to enjoy this book. If you are interested in the stories of how every day people can accomplish extra-ordinary things, read "Into that Silent Sea......" For those interested in the history of manned spaceflight, you have to add this book to your collection. "Into that Silent Sea ...." Is one of the best books ever written on the history of manned spaceflight.

As the author of The All-American Boys, I never miss an opportunity to read space books by others. Into that Silent Sea takes you into the early years of human spaceflight and tells the story in a way that will appeal to both space buffs and the public at large. It is full of little-known facts about well-known Soviet and American space flyers along with new and interesting information about lesser-known astronauts, cosmonauts and behind the scenes players.
I found Into That Silent Sea extremely interesting, and written in such a readable style with so much new material that I hated to put it down. French and Burgess did a great job with the cosmonaut chapters. They are loaded with new and interesting material about Yuri Gagarin, Gherman Titov and Alexei Leonov's harrowing first spacewalk. The book is a rare opportunity for a behind the scenes look at the competition between the two superpowers as they raced to the Moon.
Into That Silent Sea humanizes the Russian program as well as our own. I highly recommend this excellent book.

This book is probably one of the best books i have ever read. Very rarely a book comes along that you just can't put down. This is one of those. There have been thousands of book about this era is spaceflight but only a handfull really stick out. At first i was skeptical as to what this book would be, but as soon as i started reading it i knew that i loved it. Get this book along with In the Shadow of the Moon. You will not be dissapointed.
