Soyuz

Rex Hall and Dave Shayler's *Soyuz: A Universal Spacecraft* offers the first comprehensive Western history of the iconic Soyuz family. While other works focus on space station activities, this book uniquely details the complete development and operations of the Soyuz series, including its little-known military and unmanned variants. From the foundational cosmonaut transport (Soyuz, since 1967) to the essential Progress resupply freighter (since 1978), the authors present an authoritative account based on authentic Soviet and Russian sources, complete with vehicle production numbers.
