One of the most elusive and controversial figures in NASA's history, George W. S. Abbey was called "the Dark Lord", "the Godfather", and "UNO" (unidentified NASA official) by those within NASA. Yet Abbey had more influence on human spaceflight than almost anyone in history. From young pilot and wannabe astronaut to engineer, bureaucrat, and finally director of the Johnson Space Center, Abbey's story has never been fully told - until now. The Astronaut Maker takes listeners inside NASA to learn the real story of how Abbey rose to power and wielded it out of the spotlight.

The book provides indepth insight into NASA. George Abbey had a major role in developing and maintaining the US space program. The story occasionally gets bogged down with detail that a reader with only a casual interest in spaceflight might find tedious. Highly recommend for history buffs of the 1950s to present day, or for spaceflight enthusiasts.
