This book tells the legend of a person and a generation. In 1989, when the Germans were cheering to tear down the Berlin Wall, Michael Chabon flew to his mother's house in Oakland, California, to spend his final days with his grandfather, who was suffering from cancer. The painkillers broke my grandfather's habit of being taciturn. Over the next week, he recalled his life's experiences from time to time, uncovering long-buried secrets little by little. My grandfather spent his unruly boyhood in the Jewish community in South Philadelphia. He traveled around and dominated the world. After graduating from Drexel Institute of Technology, he joined the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and almost blew up the Francis Scott Key Bridge. However, he was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services and sent to the European continent to implement the "Paperclip Project." The designer of the V-2 rocket shared his vision of space, but he trampled on the lives of innocent people to climb the ladder to the moon. After the war, my grandfather returned to ordinary life and fell in love with the mysterious and charming French grandmother. Their love was passionate, loyal but not without difficulties. Although he was proficient in dealing with machine failures, he was always helpless to deal with her being torn apart by the war. He could only use the space model to fulfill his promise to her - to take her to the moon to find shelter. My grandfather's life witnessed the dark and glorious eras of human history, from World War II to the turbulent period of American space exploration, and then to the twilight of the "American Century." His life was filled with adventure and war, lust and true love, and he witnessed the romance and brutality of science, and the creativity and destructive power of human beings.
