AB  - This book focuses on the Interkosmos program, which℗ℓwas formed in 1967, marking a fundamentally new era of cooperation by socialist countries, led by the℗ℓSoviet Union,℗ℓin the study and exploration of space. The℗ℓchapters shed light on the space program that was at that time a prime outlet for℗ℓthe Soviet Union's aims at becoming a world power. Interkosmos℗ℓwas a highly publicized Russian space program℗ℓthat rapidly became a significant propaganda tool for the Soviet℗ℓUnion in the waning years of communism. Billed as an international℗ℓℓ́ℓresearch-cosmonautℓ́ℓ imperative, it was also a high-profile means of℗ℓdisplaying solidarity with the nine participating Eastern bloc countries.℗ℓThose countries contributed pilots who were trained in Moscow for℗ℓweek-long ℓ́ℓguestℓ́ℓ missions on orbiting Salyut stations. They did a little℗ℓsubsidiary science and were permitted only the most basic mechanical℗ℓmaneuvers. In this enthralling new book, and following extensive international℗ℓresearch, the authors fully explore the background, accomplishments℗ℓand political legacy of the Interkosmos program. Through personal and℗ℓoften highly revealing interviews with many of the participants they℗ℓrelate the very human story behind this extraordinary but controversial℗ℓspace venture.
