I found this book to be uninteresting and hard to follow. I think it really suffered from a lack of editing. The author assumes you understand how the inner workings of NASA management function and just sort of regurgitates names and dates without much of an analysis of the events that occurred. He also randomly sprinkles in some out-of-place personal details in the text which is distracting. I really didn't learn anything from this, and I'm not sure what "the tough decisions" were, much less how they were resolved, after having read this book. ( )
