Rating:  Summary: This book will inspire as well as challenge our thinking! Review: You are in for a wonderful treat with Leap of Faith! The sagas of courage and perserverance which surrounded the birth of America's space program are recounted in intimate detail by one who was actually there, and they are as inspirational as they are fascinating. This book may well come to be regarded as an important historical document, and it will be read with as much interest 200 years from now as it is today.This book will also challenge those readers who are without firsthand experiences with craft or visitors from off-world. Mr. Cooper has taken a great leap of faith against the prevailing consensus psychology which surrounds the subjects of UFO's and extraterrestrial intelligences, as he recounts his own personal observations as a highly trained military jet pilot, scientist and astronaut. It remains a pity that such a small handfull of the immense number of heros, statesmen and political elite that Gordon Cooper has had intimate dealings with over the years have not yet found the courage to come forward to endorse this significant work. After all, courage is what is at the heart of America, and courage is what this book really all about. Much applause goes to Gordon Cooper and Bruce Henderson for their collaboration in producing Leap of Faith. It is something that I know will be read over and over again. Dare I say "encore!" ?
