I liked this book, and am surprised that more books exist for Lance Armstrong than for Neil Armstrong. The book presents all of Armstrong's life - from his childhood and his service in WWII and Korea ending with his NASA experiences. His time in NASA is about half the book, and it seems to be accurate. It contains a fair number of pictures showing Armstrong through his life. I recommend this book.
