"I believe the importance of Challenger Revealed is that, at long last, it is an insider's honest, detailed account of the tragedy."
Karl Grossman,
Investigative Journalist
"Challenger Revealed is the mind blowing story of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of our time. Richard Cook, then an insider at NASA, reveals information about the shuttle program that no outside author has been able to obtain.... The book's startling conclusion is that it was the militarization of the shuttle, a violation of law, that was the underlying cause of the Challenger catastrophe."Read the full review

"A gripping true-life thriller....presented in a spellbinding narrative....Easily the most informative and important book on the disaster, Cook's work is meticulously documented, augmenting his own insider knowledge with transcripts, memoranda, reports and interviews to provide the first truly comprehensive book on what happened on January 28, 1986, and why."

"Richard Cook is one those rare people: an authentic civilian hero of our times. This book should be required reading for every single person in the space agency, its contractors, space policy makers, space entrepreneurs, and citizens who care about space exploration. Heeding the lessons that he has so painstakingly documented could help avert future loss of life in crewed space exploration and in emerging private space transportation."
Kathleen Connell,
Space science advocate
and long-time advisor to NASA programs
"Challenger Revealed...is a stunning commentary on the impact of narrowly-held ideologies applied surreptitiously to public policy. Few books I've read can match the detail of its treatment of this theme, and it is unmatched for the drama involved. I applaud its publication."
