This book detailed the history of U.S. Spacesuits from the beginning to the date of the book's publication. It is a very insightful read which dives into the progress of every part of the spacesuit alongside the financial struggles, political influences, and the physiological and biomechanical considerations. This book also includes many pictures and diagrams to help the reader visualise the progression of the spacesuits.
