Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    When Bush invoked this to protect Karl Rove it was on the assertion that his contact with the Justice Department was as a member of the Whitehouse executive staff. And thus his conversations could be protected.

    Who in the Whitehouse was Holder or the Justice department contacting and thus needs protection?

    So far Holder keeps saying that the Whitehouse had nothing other than a cursory knowledge of the program and had no real knowledge of anything more than just its name and purpose.

    With the Whitehouse exerting this protection its obvious they knew FAR FAR more than just the name and reason for the program. They would have no need to protect anyone if they didn’t know exactly what was going on and gave their FULL presidential backed consent.

    I have to ask one extra thing.
    Why would Mexican immigrants ever re-elect a president and by extension their justice department that would purposefully sell weapons and ammo into Mexico knowing full well that they were destined for criminals who have previously shown they were willing to kill anyone to gain what they wanted?
    Why elect those willing to let your own family be murdered? In fact working towards it for political reasons. What would that group be willing to do inside the boarders of the US just for political gain?
