Inspired by Werner von Braun and his Cape Canaveral team, 14-year-old Homer Hickam decided in 1957 to build his own rockets. They were his ticket out of Coalwood, West Virginia, a mining town that everyone knew was dying--everyone except Sonny's father, the mine superintendent and a company man so dedicated that his family rarely saw him. Hickam's smart, iconoclastic mother wanted her son to become something more than a miner and, along with a female science teacher, encouraged the efforts of his grandiosely named Big Creek Missile Agency. He grew up to be a NASA engineer and his memoir of the bumpy ride toward a gold medal at the National Science Fair in 1960--an unprecedented honor for a miner's kid--is rich in humor as well as warm sentiment. Hickam vividly evokes a world of close communal ties in which a storekeeper who sold him saltpeter warned, "Listen, rocket boy. This stuff can blow you to kingdom come." Hickam is candid about the deep disagreements and tensions in his parents' marriage, even as he movingly depicts their quiet loyalty to each other. The portrait of his ultimately successful campaign to win his aloof father's respect is equally affecting. --Wendy Smith
Book Description
The true story, originally published as Rocket Boys, that inspired the Universal Pictures film.
It was 1957, the year Sputnik raced across the Appalachian sky, and the small town of Coalwood, West Virginia, was slowly dying.
Faced with an uncertain future, Homer Hickam nurtured a dream: to send rockets into outer space. The introspective son of the mine’s superintendent and a mother determined to get him out of Coalwood forever, Homer fell in with a group of misfits who learned not only how to turn scraps of metal into sophisticated rockets but how to sustain their hope in a town that swallowed its men alive.
As the boys began to light up the tarry skies with their flaming projectiles and dreams of glory, Coalwood, and the Hickams, would never be the same.

A fantastic book that will entertain and inspire the reader.......2007-06-20
I cannot believe it has taken me so long to getting around to reading this book. Our community had one of those reading together projects and the paper back version of this book was free. I cannot remember exactly when I got it (it was either the fall of 2001 or 2002) but I got it because I had seen and enjoyed the movie.
Well as is often the case the book is far superior top the movie. I found it hard to stop reading this at times keeping me up way past my bed time at times. I haven't had a book that grabbed my attention like this one in decades. It is moving and inspiring. It truly shows what you can accomplish with hard work and determination.
The book adds depth that the movie doesn't have time to cover. IT explores the family dynamics of Homer, Elsie, Jim and Sonny. It makes you feel like you are a part of that family living in Coalwood, WV in the late 50's. I have read many other books about NASA by people who were Astronauts or worked at NASA but this was by far the most engaging. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
I would recommend this as a read to anyone, but especially to teens. It deals with the struggles of going through adolescence and trying to find your place in life.
One of the best Christmas gifts.......2007-03-26
As I have nephews, I'm always looking for something to share with them to encourage them to dream big. My friend gave me this book over Christmas after I talked about how great a movie that "October Sky" was.
Homer Hickam's memoir is a wonderful story of a young man growing up in Coalwood, West Virginia during the late 50's and early 60's just as the space race was in full bloom. However, Coalwood was in the process of dying.
Hickam beautifully describes how his life was growing as he decided that he wanted to build rockets. Even though, he was not doing so well in some subjects like algebra, once he discovered that understanding math and science would help him to build his rockets, then he definitely had a desire to understand both subjects to help him reach his goal.
From all of the reports about how the United States is lagging behind in math and science, this book should be a must read to help inspire young people to pursue a path in math and science.
Hickam shows with his memoir that it is always possible to dream big and that with persistence and determination you can achieve anything that you want. I would definitely recommend this book to adults and teenagers.
Inspirational True Story.......2007-03-22
This is the story of a boy growing up in a coal-mining community in West Virginia. In this town it is expected that every boy who grows up will eventually go into the coal mines to work. This is especially true for Homer, because his father runs the coal mine. But Homer has other ideas. He is enthralled with the idea of space, and after seeing the Russian launch of Sputnik that put so many Americans into a panic, he decides that he would like to build rockets.
Homer recruits several of his high school classmates to help him to gather supplies and build his rockets. They start off with crude designs that don't really fly and actually end up being dangerous. But Homer and his friends become more dedicated to building good rockets. With the encouragement of Homer's mother and his science teacher, Homer begins to take rocket-building seriously. The boys invent rocket fuels, build specialized nozzles, and Homer even teaches himself calculus so he can do the calculations for his rockets. The ultimate goal becomes the science fair. Can a group of boys from West Virginia actually will and gain national attention?
There is a lot more to this book than the story of rocket building. This is really the story of Homer growing up, and I enjoyed reading about his thoughts throughout high school. It made me a bit sad to read about how Homer described his town and how he related to his father and his brother, so that was a smudge on the inspirational story.
Boyhood dreams become reality.......2007-03-18
This is one classic must-read for anyone, child or adult, who thinks they can't live their dreams. Homer did, supported by his loving mother and his begrudging father.
Homer describes a life in West Virginia dominated by coal mining, Communist superiority with science, and 1950s norms of what one can and can not do. It was this setting that inspired this rocket-obsessed boy to go against the grain--within limits--to pursue his dream of making rockets. He tells this story with a boyish humor, a juvenile naivete and an adult's sense of reality in the end. He never gave up to pursue his dream no matter how many walls he broke with his rockets, or how many times he was banished to his room for creating a ruckus as one of the town's Rocket Boys. When other boys played football and lived to be heroes, Homer was a hero-in-waiting.
How can one even deny a boy presidency of the Big Creek Missile Agency? Reading about the BCMA reminded me of my own childhood fantasies of being Super Teacher or Super Explorer of the backwoods around Chicagoland, my hometown, all that was destroyed for new land development by the time I was a young adult.
Coalwood, WV knew what they had with this boy. Even though Homer did his share of scaring the begeesus out of some of the townsfolk, the town supported him anyway, knowing that Homer possessed something that many others in Coalwood didn't have: a chance to pursue his dreams. The narrative of this book, always written with that childish sense of humor, leaves the reader wanting more. I was hooked after just a few pages.
The final chapter was also touching, describing what happened to all the Rocket Boys, what they were doing now, and what happened to all those Football Fathers and boys. In the end, they all didn't achieve nearly as much as Homer did.
I can understand why this book was made into a movie (a movie I've yet to see). We need more such stories of childhood dreams and fantasies, childhood loves and community idealism.
Too many memoirs today are about adults who describe their negligent parents, their alcoholic father or their abusive mother, memoirs that are often filled with anger or pain. This story is non of that, and because of this uplifting tale, a must-read for everyone who even doubts they can not fulfill their dreams.
A Love Letter from a Son to his Father.......2007-01-31
I don't tend to read many memoirs - too romanticized, too maudlin, too many happy (or unbearably terrible) endings. *Rocket Boys* is an incredible exception. While there is much nostalgia, there is no overly romantic sentiment. Just reality, as it appears through the eyes of a man looking back to his boyhood.
There are many key elements that make the story work - Sonny Hickam's alternating love and repulsion for his town, his relationship with his mother and father, the coming-of-age dynamic in finding his rockets - but the facet that draws me in most deeply is the father/son relationship so powerfully depicted in his work. It is complex, painful, dynamic and stagnant . . . rewarding and unfulfilling . . . the paradox that lies at the center of many parent/child relationships.
It is easy to assume that the elder Homer understood nothing about Sonny, and that it is to his mother that he owes his personality and drive. And yet, if you read the book as it is written and don't rely too heavily on the film, you see a man who is much like his youngest son. Perhaps as a young man he WANTED to be Jim, and therefore he lives vicariously through the accomplishments of the star athlete, but it is Sonny with whom he shares his major accomplishment - his career, a position of prestige without the benefit of education, at the mine. And it is from Sonny that he feels the ultimate rejection when his son does not wish to follow in his footsteps.
It is this rejection, at war with his ambitions and dreams, that makes him deny Sonny help with his words while supporting the cause with his actions - allowing the supplies to be procured, etc. In the closing chapter, at the final launch, those dreams win out and he chases the rocket that his son has built. It is an ultimate moment of elation and understanding. And you wish it was the foundation of a close-knit tie between them. Yet, as the reader learns in the epilogue, it wasn't. Just another chain in the struggle.
For all of the complicated emotions, an adult "Sonny" seems to see his Dad as a whole individual. It is that portrayal that elevates this memoir to something very special, even if you don't know or care much about rockets.
But . . . a word about the rockets. In my region, manhood is defined by the "Jim"s in the crowd. What sports do you play? How good are you? School and good grades are mostly for girls. Sadly, you even see this attitude among coaches and teachers who just assume that the majority of young men will just naturally prefer video games to books and television to original thought. I hope that young men will read this book and understand that there is nothing feminine about schooling, education or excellence in academics. And that excellence of the mind is just as important as excellence in the body.
Book Description
Virtually forgotten until now, his life is the stuff of legend. Born in 1739 in Guadeloupe to a slave mother and a French noble father, he became the finest swordsman of his age, an insider at the doomed court of Louis XVI, and, most of all, a virtuosic musician. A violinist, he directed the Olympic Society of Concerts, which was considered the finest in Europe in an age of great musicians, including Haydn, from whom he commissioned a symphony, and Mozart, to whom he was often compared. He also became the first Freemason of color, embracing the French Revolution with the belief that it would end the racism against which-despite his illustrious achievements-he struggled his whole life. This is the life of Joseph Bologne, known variously as Monsieur de Saint-George, the 'Black Mozart,' and, because of his origins, 'the American.' Alain Gud offers a fascinating account of this extra-ordinary individual, whose musical compositions are at long last being revived and whose story will never again be forgotten.

Great info.......2007-04-02
I've seen this book priced for much more and in much worse shape than I've received. It's a great historical source on the Black french slave trade. The book itself was practically brand new and arrived very quickly.
a forgotten Renaissance man..........2005-05-10
This was an excellent bio of a remarkable polymath.
Thank you Alain Guede for your fine curriculum vitae
on Monsieur Saint-George.
For those of us who enjoys a insightful,entertaining
and yes even inspiring non-fiction read.
Here is a Man whose story truly deserves to be widely read.
NOT TO BE MISSED!
A Great Tale Spoiled in the Retelling.......2005-04-30
I purchased this book after seeing a television documentary on Monsieur de Saint-George, and was fascinated by his life and achievements (and eager to hear more of his music).
Unfortunately, though the his life is fascinating and takes many turns, the quality of the storytelling here is not up to the task. As anyone who has read academic research will know, a remarkable topic can quickly be drowned out by droning prose.
Having said that, I felt at every point eager to hear the next twist or turn of this man's life. Perhaps someone will do him better service.
PS - Suggest if you decide to proceed with this book, that you purchase the music to listen to as you read. Perhaps it will improve the whole experience, and will definitely give you better insight into his achievements.
An enthralling life story.......2004-04-05
Monsieur De Saint-George: Virtuoso, Swordsman, Revolutionary is the amazing biography of Joseph Boulogne de Saint-George, the son of a slave mother and a gentleman father and the trail he blazed through eighteenth-century aristocratic circles to become one of the greatest of the French composers. Also known for his talented violin playing, his superb swordsmanship, and his passionate hope for a future that would promote equal rights for human beings regardless of color. An enthralling life story which was definitely researched and superbly written by biographer Alain Guede, Monsieur De Saint-George is a quite significant contribution to Black Studies and Music History collections.
This is not a Biography.......2004-02-15
Mr. Guede's book is about a wonderful charactor, but the scholarship is poor. He uses footnotes, but they are to other works of fiction. He spends much time talking about the family of St.-Georges' father, without checking the very clear and obtainable documents that prove he is another man entirely. This is important because St.-Georges made his way in Parisian society on his own, not as son of a wealthy minister. Gede says he was called "Chevalier" by his father, when his apointment by Louis XV to the Gendarme du Roi made him a Chevalier automatically. It was an honor he earned.
It takes nerve to write a biography of a musician without even an elemental knowledge of music. For example the author writes: "Gossec named him (St.-Georges) first violin and time keeper. " The author then goes on to say the first violin (concertmaster) stands up in performances, and that as timekeeper he uses his baton to set the tempo in rehearsals, being preferred to a metronome. What is the conductor suposed to be doing?
Finally, the author inserts gratuitous racial remarks such as: "the thick layers of powder he used to hide the color of his skin", or Plato, his (fictional) violin teacher saying "Follow the score or you will always play like a Negro", or "Voltaire would not defend a Negro unless he was attacked by a Jew"
St.-Georges deserves a better writer.
Book Description
In Mecanisme de la Physionomie Humaine, the great nineteenth-century French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne combined his intimate knowledge of facial anatomy with his skill in photography and expertise in using electricity to stimulate individual facial muscles to produce a fascinating interpretation of the ways in which the human face portrays emotions. This book was pivotal in the development of psychology and physiology as it marked the first time that photography had been used to illustrate, and therefore "prove," a series of experiments. Duchenne's book, which contained over 100 original photographic prints pasted into an accompanying Album, was rare, even when it first appeared in 1862. Duchenne was a superb clinical neurologist and in this study he applied his enormous experience in neurological research to the question of the mechanism of human facial expression. Duchenne has been little cited and little known in this century; his book has been virtually unobtainable, and copies are available in only a few libraries in the United States and Europe.

Mr Physiology of Emotions.......2001-09-22
How to say this...... If you want to know about the exact physiology of the facial expression of emotions, go to this book. Duchenne was the first to investigate the muscles which depict emotions in 1862 and his work still remains a topic of scientific discussion and artistic reference today.
Book Description
A RECORD OF ONE YEAR'S PERSONAL SERVICE WITH THE BRITISH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN FRANCE With An Account Of The Imprisonment, Trial, And Death of Nurse Edith Cavell After the shocking execution of Nurse Edith Cavell by the Germans, American citizens asked the English director of military surgery to accept the services of the Edith Cavell Memorial Nurse from Massachusetts in the hope that it may be this nurse's high fortune to serve not only the Allies' wounded but their prisoners. Funds were raised, and a nurse with exceptional qualities was searched for. One was soon found, and in early 1916, Miss Alice L. F. Fitzgerald was appointed by the Edith Cavell Memorial Committee to serve with the British Expeditionary force in France for the duration of the war. From somewhere in France, Alice wrote: "I am in the thick of it, as this is the nearest Clearing Station to the Front. I am all but in the trenches! We are situated in a horseshoe, with the firing line on three sides. We can only walk a short distance in all directions for fear of getting shelled. The sky is alive with aeroplanes of all kinds, the scouts, the battle planes. . . some fly so low that they almost touch the poles of our tents. About a week ago, in the middle of the night, I woke up at the sound of the dropping of bombs nearer and nearer, until one came down so near that the vibration simply knocked me out of bed."

Book Description
As German armored columns moved to seal off French ports from retreating British troops in 1940, Winston Churchill had few reserves he could commit. In an attempt to delay the Germans at Boulogne, Churchill sent in two battalions of the Irish Guards and Welsh Guards in a hastily-organized amphibious landing. In Battleground Europe style, eyewitness accounts and original photographs provide previously unknown details. A guide is also provided to the monuments, battle sites and accommodations in this historic city as they are today.

How Not To Commit a Brigade to Combat, Part II.......2003-02-08
Boulogne is the companion volume to John Cooksey's 1999 volume on Calais and together, they tell the oft-neglected story of Britain's futile attempt to secure the channel ports from the advancing Wehrmacht in May 1940. In Boulogne, Cooksey covers the brief commitment of the 20th Guards Brigade (consisting of the 2nd Welsh Guards and 2nd Irish Guards infantry battalions) to the Battle for France. The brigade was landed in Boulogne on the morning of 22 May 1940 and hit by the advance guard of the 2nd Panzer Division eight hours later. After heavy fighting, the brigade was evacuated by the Royal Navy on the night of 23/24 May. Like the earlier volume, Boulogne is fine example of how not to commit an infantry brigade into combat, which provides many instructive lessons for military professionals. Historians will also appreciate this book since the struggle for Boulogne usually only merits a sentence or two in most accounts of the 1940 campaign. Cooksey has unearthed a wealth of previously unseen photographs and personal accounts of this obscure, but important battle. Aside from being another ignominious Allied defeat, Boulogne had great political significance, since Churchill's decision to withdraw the embattled 20th Guards Brigade exacerbated Anglo-French relations; from that point on, the French leadership became increasingly convinced that the British were only interested in saving their army from encirclement in France and were no longer fully trustworthy.
Boulogne consists of nine chapters, beginning with background sections on the 1940 campaign, the 20th Guards Brigade and the 2nd Panzer Division. Although the maps provided by the author adequately depict the dispositions of the 20th Guards Brigade, they do not depict either French or German dispositions. Furthermore, key terrain features like Fort de la Creche and the Haute Ville cathedral are not depicted on the maps. The photographs are excellent, and Cooksey provides a number of photos from private British and German collections. After the battle narrative, the author also provides three guided tours around the Boulogne battlefield. A brief bibliography is provided, but unfortunately no order of battle.
One of the most striking features about Boulogne is the shocking waste of two fine battalions of infantry. The two battalions were formed in the summer of 1939 and although they spent the entire Phoney War period on ceremonial duties in England, the troops were considered of high quality. The battalions began intensive infantry training in May 1940 and were still in the process of receiving all their equipment, such as French-made 25mm anti-tank guns. When the German Blitzkrieg threatened the Channel ports, the decision was rapidly made to dispatch this brigade to secure Boulogne. The brigade had less than 24 hours to deploy from home station - apparently the unit did not have a deployment plan in hand - and much vital equipment was left behind. The brigade deployed to Boulogne with virtually no vehicles, no mortars, no mines or barbed wire, no radios, few maps, only a few entrenching tools and only fifty rounds of ammunition per riflemen. Essentially, the unit could barely shoot, move and communicate. After arriving in Boulogne on the morning of 22 May 1940, the brigade was hastily thrown into an incomplete cordon around the edges of the city. Cooksey makes the point that there was little time or effort spent on coordinating the brigade's defense with local French troops or the numerous British support troops in the port. The brigade's flimsy defense repelled the initial German probes on 22 May, but was quickly pushed in by determined attacks on 23 May. When the order came to evacuate the brigade, many troops were left behind due to the lack of radios; of 1,600 troops landed, more than 500 were lost.
Cooksey's account is also interesting for the information he provides from the German perspective. It is apparent that the fog of war affected the Germans as well, since they were not completely aware of the British evacuation or the true plight of the brigade. Furthermore, the rapid German advance had strung the German units out badly; the 2nd Panzer lacked much of its infantry at Boulogne and had to conduct an attack into an urban area with a tank-heavy force supported by only a battalion of motorcycle troops and some reconnaissance units. The Germans were quickly able to smash in the British defense on the outskirts of the town but their attack bogged down in the urban congestion of Boulogne; it took the Germans three days to mop up the last defenders.
The author's description of the heroic evacuation of the brigade by a flotilla of Royal Navy destroyers is quite thrilling. Braving intense small arms fire and even tank gunfire, these intrepid ships pushed into the narrow harbor and extracted thousands of Allied troops. One destroyer captain was killed by sniper fire and several destroyers were damaged by air attack and coastal artillery. Cooksey's description of the final hours of the evacuation is well-written and intense. At one point, British destroyers were engaging German tanks less than 300 meters from the docks. It is also apparent that the French units in Boulogne put up an incredible defense of the city - there was no lack of will to fight in those French troops. Although Cooksey describes the last-ditch French defense after the British withdrawal, it is more difficult to follow these actions due to the lack of maps.
The British lost 30% of the 20th Guards Brigade in Boulogne and failed to hold the port for more than 36 hours. However, in unilaterally evacuating the brigade without consulting the French - who continued to resist for two more days - Churchill angered his ally. Consequently, the other Brigade deployed to Calais was not evacuated in order to display "allied solidarity" and that unit was overwhelmed.
Together, Boulogne and Calais demonstrate the high cost of rashly throwing units into poorly-defined situations and then hoping for the best.
