HarperCollins, 512pp, £20 When Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space 60 years ago, the KGB wanted to send a bomb with him. The point of the bomb was not that it could be dropped on the US but that, in the event that his Vostok craft came down on foreign soil, Gagarin and his ship could be remotely destroyed. The bomb idea was eventually overruled but, had Gagarin not survived his flight, the world might never have known his name. The same applied to the man who put him in space, Sergei Korolev, whose identity was kept secret until after his death. Korolev, who had been sent to a Siberian gulag where he lost all of his teeth, became the chief engineer of the Soviet space programme, driving through the giant R-7 rocket, the Sputnik satellites and probes to the moon, Mars and Venus. By his desk he kept the battered aluminium mug that had been his only possession in the Siberian camp.
