Excellent book even if one is not interested in anything in any way related to rocketry. I wish there was a corresponding, detailed account from the Soviet side, but as far as I know none exists. “Ignition!” does cover the Soviet program, but only very sporadically, to the effect of “they skipped most of this expensive foolishness, and went straight to hydrazine and kerosene”. Well, apparently not - pentaborane was tried in the engines as well.
