This is a must-read for anyone interested in early rocket programs, Soviet space program development, and the space race between US and USSR.

This 4 volume set covers 5 decades of rocket science development (30s-70s) and span the career of a key top-level contributor to the Soviet space program, Academician Boris Chertok (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Chertok).

This is "required reading" for anyone interested in space program development. Not only Soviet space program but overall understanding on space related technological and thinking process evolution over 50 years.

In addition to this insights into Soviet leadership behaviour and thinking.
