He takes us inside the Kremlin, the White House, secret military facilities, deep-cover safe houses, and the halls of Congress to bring to life the Russians and Americans who feared and distrusted their compatriots at least as much as their superpower rivals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on original interviews and new documentary sources, Brzezinski tells a story rich in the paranoia of the time.

The true story of the birth of the space age has never been told in such dramatic detail, and \u003ci\u003eRed Moon Rising \u003c\/i\u003ebrings it vividly and memorably to life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Brzezinski\u003c\/b\u003e is a former Moscow correspondent for \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal \u003c\/i\u003eand has reported extensively on homeland-security issues for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine \u003c\/i\u003eand other publications.
