"The most beautiful of the many works about the heroes of 1969 has now been published by TASCHEN in a 36.5 x 44 cm format (14.4 x 17.3 in.). It pairs an essay by Norman Mailer with a series of photos that have never been seen before – MOONFIRE is a book that allows us to believe in the magic of memories and in the unique nature of the printed work."
—Der Spiegel, Hamburg
.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing, TASCHEN has paired Norman Mailer’s seminal text with spectacular photography—from the archives of NASA, LIFE magazine, and many other sources—to create a unique tribute to the defining scientific mission of our time.
.
Illustrating this volume are hundreds of the best photographs and maps from the NASA vaults, magazine archives, and private collections. Many of them previously unpublished, these images document the development of the agency and the mission, life from inside the command module and out on the Moon’s surface, and the world’s jubilant reaction to the mission’s success. This new edition includes an original introduction by Colum McCann and captions by leading Apollo 11 experts which explain the history and science behind the images, citing the mission log, post-flight interviews with the astronauts, and publications of the day.
