Mission to Jupiter: A History of the Galileo Project… par Michael Meltzer
This is really an esoteric subject. I was on the first iteration of the Galileo Project at Ames Research Center in 1978-9 but it was scrapped. Later JPL took over and it came to fruition in 1989. For a person who was involved as myself this book is fascinating especially the post-Apollo politics in getting this project off the ground.
