Sparked by dramatic Soviet achievements, particularly in nuclear technology and the development of the Sputnik space orbiter, the United States responded in the late 1950s with an extraordinary federal investment in education. This book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the National Defense Education Act.
