The Scud missile was developed as the centerpiece of Soviet plans to fight nuclear war in the heart of Europe. However, it was never used in its intended role and has instead become a symbol of the changing nature of warfare in the aftermath of the Cold War. Saddam Hussein's Iraqi armed forces were almost helpless in the face of the Coalition forces in the 1991 Gulf War; the only weapon that Iraq could use to injure the Coalition forces was its arsenal of Scud missiles. This book explores the development and variants of the missile and its launch systems, its proliferation outside of the West, and its role in conflicts around the world.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a gripping account of Von Braun and documents his journey in becoming a world renowned rocket scientist. The book does delve into his involvement with the Nazi Party. I think it is unlikely he would not have known about the horrendous treatment of slave workers at the military base where he spent so much of his time during WW2. However Dark Side of The Moon does also focus on what Von Braun wanted to achieve, to get mankind into space. And on to the Moon.
This book was given to me as a Christmas present by a very good friend of mine and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I could only give it 4 stars because I would have liked to have seen a chapter or two exploring his time at NASA! However this book is a marvellous read for anyone studying Nazi Germany from a historical perspective like I am and also for those who are fascinated by all things to do with space! ☺
