1931 vs 2010
Want to know what’s going to happen? What the 1930s tell us about today.
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

The anecdote that Churchill was momentarily distracted while looking left, subsequently struck, then recovered, is perhaps not coincidence but a presage we should heed. Churchill’s famous radio address insisted that Britons never give up the fight against totalitairan regimes and ideaologies.
I am currently reading the recently released book, “Bloodlands – Europe Between Hitler and Stalin” by Timothy Snyder. In it, he explains so well that the atrocities perpetrated during the 30’s by Stalin, Hitler and Hirohito under the shadow of the Great Depression were know by many people capable of exposing them but were unwilling to confront thereby releasing a whirlwind of cataclysmic suffering. I know we are in similar times and are in dire need of Churchillian leadership from real men and strong women. I pray we get them.
