 Amazon.com: Books: Strange Angel : The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
George Pendle is quite successful at capturing the times -- distrust of rocketry as a research area, paranoia about Communism, fascination among the wealthy with the occult and the undeniable appeal for some of unrestrained sexual activity.
Pendle also does a fine job of explaining how the early trial-and-error pioneers are eventually superseded by those who can develop the theory and practice in more advanced ways.
Where Pendle falls down is the occult side of Parsons' life- he seems to have very little sympathy for magickal practices, and seems to consider Parsons' interest in them to be a symptom of his instability, rather than a contributing factor to it.
