Cunningham was somewhat outside of the power loop in the astronaut office, which in fact gives him a great advantage when writing this book - he is under no restraints to tell the plain truth, without bitterness or grandstanding.
The most attractive aspect to the book is that is written with the clear intention of being a "warts and all" description of it`s subject matter, without becoming to sensational or derogatory of the others with whom he worked.
Cunningham is able to reflect on his time with the benefit of hindsight and his other life experiences, and does not seek to paint himself as any kind of hero or superman.

Walter Cunningham was as close as you can get to what was one of our first space program disasters being on the back up crew of Apollo 1.
Cunningham does share the flaw of the others in that he also doesn't describe his Apollo 7 flight in any detail, but the uniquness of his book is that he does give an interesting perspective on the American space program, and his fellow astronauts, not seen in the other autobiographies.
Cunningham also frankly points out that although the crew indeed proved that Apollo spacecraft was flight worthy, they didn't really accomplish nearly as much as they could have during their relatively long-duration flight in a scientific sense.
