"Born in the Cold War, Mir's ultimate triumph is that it taught the two superpower
rivals, the USSR and the USA, to cooperate in space. Mir showed how humans could live
and work in space, how to overcome unforeseen problems, and survive potentially fatal
situations. The wealth of experience provided by the Mir program provides the means
to keep the International Space Station operational, crewed and supplied. In The Story
of Space Station Mir David Harland charts the development, operations and achievements
of a remarkable space station, mankind's first true long-term home in space."--Jacket
