Kritik
"Brian has written a number of books on spaceflight for Springer and this new tome is an excellent addition to the stable." (John Flannery, Orbit, Vol. 56 (1), 2021)

"Harvey's consistency in publishing on China's space program makes him an academic authority on Chinese space activities. ... A read of Harvey's book provides an excellent opportunity to comprehensively understand the technology and projects of China's space program." (Astropolitics, Vol. 18 (1), 2020)

"The most comprehensive and insightful review of the history, current status, and future plans of China's space program is Brian Harvey's most recent book, China in Space: The Great Leap Forward." (Marsha Freeman, Quest, Vol. 27 (3), 2020)

"This is a worthy reference book as well as a good read and your reviewer has no reservations in recommending Brian Harvey's latest magnum opus. It ishard to see it being outclassed by other works yet to be published on this subject." (David Baker, Spaceflight, Vol. 62, September, 2020)

"Thanks for putting the effort into this indispensable tool for reading and studying. ... This book is strongly recommended to all those newly-arrived young authors who find it fanciful to write about China's space programme on the web, but lack the knowledge and the understanding of the context." (Jacqueline Myrrhe, GT Review, Issue 28, February 2020)
"This book should find a place equally well on the shelves of great libraries and the corridors of political power, as much as it will find its place on the shelves of all who are passionate about or interested in space exploration." (Kevin Nolan, Astronomy Ireland, January, 2020)mehr
