To Reach the High Frontier: A History of U.S. Launch Vehicles, edited by NASA Chief Historian Roger D. Launius and Dennis R. Jenkins, will be published by the University Press of Kentucky in August 2002. It includes chapters on all the major families of American launch vehicles, from the Navaho project of the 1950s, to the expendable Atlas, Titan, and Delta rockets, to the Space Shuttle and discussions of other reusable vehicle concepts. “Delta: The Ultimate Thor” is an extensive overview of Delta history and development written by yours truly (but in case you think this is a totally shameless plug, I won’t be getting any royalties from the book).
