looking for information on Wernher Von Braun

[robopilot99]

I just got a school project where I have to write a essay about someone who has contributed to the good of mankind. I have chosen Wernher Von Braun as my subject. For the project I need to find at least one biography about Wernher Von Braun so my request is:

I am searching for a biography on Wernher Von Braun and looking for recommendations

If you know of any good ones please post. If you know of any websites, documentaries or other good sources please post those as well.

Hmm. Not too sure, to be honest... This is tangentially related, though, so you may find it interesting and possibly helpful. It's also quite an amusing little book on rocket propellants. http://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pdf (AFAIK it's out of print, so I've not a clue with regards to what copyright licenses still attach to it and haven't been able to find anything solid on that, so handle with care, I guess)

Try astronautix.com. It's a good source, but it's not 100% accurate. Other than that, I don't know.

I haven't read it but Dr. Space by Tom Ward(I think that's the author) was recommended to me.

Dr. Space is good, too. But it's big. BIG.
