About the book

Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff tells the story of American test pilots and the first astronauts of the Mercury space programme. The book explores the culture of courage, competition and risk that surrounded men such as Chuck Yeager and the early astronauts. Wolfe combines journalism, humour and dramatic storytelling in a vivid account of the beginnings of the American space race.
