He Left The United States In September 1955 On The American President Lines Passenger Liner Ss President Cleveland, Arriving In China Via Hong Kong. Upon His Return, He Helped Lead The Chinese Nuclear Weapons Program. This Effort Ultimately Led To China's First Successful Atomic Bomb Test And Hydrogen Bomb Test, Making China The Fifth Nuclear Weapons State, And Achieving The Fastest Fission-To-Fusion Development In History. Additionally, Qian's Work Led To The Development Of The Dongfeng Ballistic Missile And The Chinese Space Program. For His Contributions, He Became Known As The "Father Of Chinese Rocketry", Nicknamed The "King Of Rocketry". He Is Recognized As One Of The Founding Fathers Of Two Bombs, One Satellite. In 1957, Qian Was Elected An Academician Of The Chinese Academy Of Sciences.

Very Good, hinges cracked (as is typical from the weight of the textblock), light rubbing to spine ends and corners, rubbing to spine lettering, and former owner's name at the front free endpaper. Retains original "Restricted" classification of the Air Technical Service Command. Less wear than most extant copies. A massive rocketry work compiled by remarkable polymath Hsue-shen Tsien (also known as Qian Xuesen): a mathematician, physicist, and inventor of the field of engineering cybernetics. Tsien was a wartime US Army consultant at the time of publication; later he became Goddard Professor of Aerodynamics at Cal Tech. With the onset on McCarthyism his loyalty was questioned by American intelligence agencies and he was confined to house arrest for five years. He left the US for his homeland of China in 1955 on a boat, never to return. Some historians have argued this was greatest single loss the American scientific establishment ever suffered. Warmly welcomed upon arrival by the Chinese communist government, he was instrumental in producing the first Chinese ballistic missile, which also served as foundation for the country's first satellite. He is still revered in China as the father of their space and nuclear programs.
