"In this volume, well-known space writer Brian Harvey takes an in-depth look at the efforts of western-European countries . this is a useful addition to the literature." (Peter Bond, The Observatory, Vol. 142 (1286), February, 2022) "The well-known chronicler of space activities, Brian Harvey, has produced a timely addition to his impressive portfolio." (Pat Norris, Aerospace, December, 2021) "Brain Harvey has written a unique in-depth account of European and Russian space exploration collaboration. A significant amount of research has gone into the book, with some of the ups and downs of the partnership described, but you come away with a new insight into the many successful years and missions. A timeline of key events and extensive reference throughout rounds out this excellent history." (John Flannery, Orbit, Vol.

56 (4), 2021) "Weighing in at a sizeable 401 pages, Harvey takes us through, with exquisitely researched detail yet in a relaxed and accessible writing style, one of the most far-reaching and enduring partnerships in all of space endeavor . This book is a fascinating read, and is highly recommended. If you're interested in space exploration, this book is a must for your bookshelf." (Kevin Nolan, Astronomy Ireland, September, 2021) "It has to be said that Brian Harvey has done his homework; he does not only delve into the missions that flew, but outlines the missions that did not fly-for example, Russia's potential involvement in the ESA JUICE mission to Jupiter's moons, a collaboration that very nearly materialised. In short, I found the book to be a great historical, human and scientific account of a space collaboration that has received relatively little attention." (Richard Harrison, Space Research Today, August 30, 2021) "The book's 400 pages deals with collaboration in scientific, industrial, human spaceflight, and ExoMars . This is probably the first English-language analysis of the individuals, institutions, and early space projects that would eventually lead not just France but Europe to its status as a leader in designing, building, and operating complex space infrastructure." (Gurbir Singh, The Space Review, thespacereview.

com, August 30, 2021) "Recalling the successes, the failures and lost opportunities, European-Russian Space Cooperation is fully referenced and supplemented with useful tables, a bibliography and appendices and a helpful 60-year timeline of events. If you wish to learn more about the long history of European and Russian space cooperation, this concise and informative single volume admirably fits the bill." (David J Shayler, Spaceflight, Vol. 63 (2), August, 2021).
