“There is more to this book that will appeal to the amateur engineer and policy-maker in every space enthusiast. Even though we know the cause of the accident, the outcome of the investigation, and the glory of the space shuttle’s return to flight, “Truth, Lies, and O-rings” reads like a thriller novel. But this narrative is true, and it tells the inside story of the decisions leading to the accident and the actions of a man who told the truth even in the face of overwhelming pressure and deceit from superiors.”
