Slow and dense read, but full of great info about the management of the Apollo program. Genuinely devoid of any narrative surrounding the program, making both very factual and very boring. I personally found the account of contractor/agency relations during Apollo to be very informative and relevant to the modern Artemis program. Not a good read for someone merely interested in NASA, but a great read for anyone studying the Apollo program.

Glorious in all of its tedious detail..a wonderful, fascinating look into the political, budget, technical, and personnel elements of the Apollo program. Missing some pages, as the online version was scanned from a paper book, but worth the time if you’re interested in Apollo.
