Challenger A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space

On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Like disaster is a defining moment in twentieth-century history - yet the full story of what happened, and why, has never been told. It's a compelling tale of ambition and ingenuity undermined by political cynicism and cost-cutting in the interests of burnishing national prestige. A masterful blend of riveting human drama and fascinating and absorbing science, Challenger brings to life an even more complex and astonishing story than we remember.
