The most interesting double autobiography of Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov and American astronaut David Scott is a memoir and documentary account of how the "lunar rivalry" between the USSR and the USA, which grew into the Soyuz-Apollo space project, ushered in an era of scientific and technological partnership between the USSR and the USA.
Scott and Leonov, as leading participants in that unprecedented race of space achievement, had great respect for each other and, in fact, recognized more than anyone else all the challenges, the severity of the ordeal, and the degree of risk that threatened their rival. These biographies, told from the perspectives of two very different cultures and societies, are united by the desire of the true explorers to participate in the most advanced space events and respect for the technical achievements of the opposing side.
