This book was compiled by CBS TV to commemorate the moment man first stepped on the moon on July 20, 1969. The Historic Conquest of the Moon was reported to the American people by CBS over the CBS Television Network. The step on the moon was an awesome achievement; so was its reporting on TV because it emphasized TV's extraordinary ability to unify a disparate world through communicating with so many people, in so many places, and thus providing everyone with a common experience. The book includes 47 pages of images taken from CBS TV broadcast This book attempts to recapture some of the reality of this unique and ephemeral experience. It crystallizes the images that CBS brought to the screen, and also recounts the story of the intricate logistics and inventive techniques of the men on and behind the camera who made this reality possible. The cover is the same color as the surface of the moon itself, with a moon-like texture. The dust jacket represents Areas of the Lunar Surface including the Sea of Tranquility, where Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin became the first men to walk on the Moon169pages. Printed in English
