The Epic Journey of Apollo 11. It has been called the single most historic event of the 20th century: On July 20, 1969, the most powerful rocket ever launched brought Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the moon. Nobody captured the men, the mood, and the machinery like Norman Mailer, hired by LIFE magazine to cover the mission in a dazzling reportage he later enhanced into the brilliantly crafted book, 'Of a Fire on the Moon'. Rediscover this epoch-making event with Taschen's adaptation of Mailer's account, now in its popular Reader's Edition so you can really curl up and travel not just back in time, but into outer space.
