The All-American Boys is a no-holds-barred candid memoir by a former Marine jet jockey and physicist who became NASA's second civilian astronaut. Walter Cunningham presents the astronauts in all their glory in this dramatically revised and updated edition. From its insider's view of the astropolitics that guided the functioning of the astronaut corps to its thoughtful discussion of the Columbia tragedy, The All-American Boys resonates with Cunningham's passion for humanity's destiny in space. Cunningham brings us into NASA's training program and reveals what it takes to be an astronaut. He poignantly relates the story of the devastating Apollo 1 fire that took the lives of three astronauts and his own later successful flight on Apollo 7.

All-American Boys
This is a solid "Astro bio" that has been recommended but a number of my space friends. I enjoyed it easily as much as any of the others I have read. Because I have read other books about the same period such as Gene Kranz's "Failure is not an option" or the Shuttle-Mir examination "Dragonfly" somethings here were familiar territory. However there is a unique perspective and Cunningham is very candid and critical in certain places and does not sugar coat.
In particular I enjoyed his stories about flying the T-38s as well as his insights and thoughts on development of the Space Shuttle in the 1970s.
Worth of its spot in a series of must reads for fellow space fans.
