RETURN TO EARTH

Bantam, New York, 1974, 1^st pr thus.  MMPB 342 pages.  Wraps show some edge and cover wear, some chipping to paint; stamps on top and bottom edges; binding sound.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages; black & white photo section.  ‘Here, in Buzz Aldrin’s own words, is the story of the first touchdown on the moon.  The intense, brutalizing training program.  Debriefing after splashdown.  The problems of instant fame and notoriety.  The adulation of women everywhere – and the one serious love affair that nearly tore his home apart.  The rivalry among the astronauts.  Politicking behind the scenes.  And the emotional and physical pressure which led him to enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment.’ (from rear wrap)
