Space Shuttle Launch System 1972-2004 (New Vanguard) Overviews
The Space Shuttle is one of the oldest and most famous manned launch systems â€" the only launch vehicle that has been used for a longer period of time is the Soviet (now Russian) R-7 booster. By the start of the third millennium, the Space Shuttle had carried crews into space over 85 times. Although not a military structure, the Shuttle had been sold as an all-purpose launch system to be used jointly for military and civilian purposes. Featuring full-colour photos throughout, this book covers the design, development and operational history of a unique vehicle.

Space Shuttle Launch System 1972-2004 (New Vanguard) CustomerReview
Though this book is part of a series on military equipment, and thus places special emphasis on the Shuttle's military flights, it covers the vehicle's entire history up to the Columbia disaster. I found it to be interesting and well written.
For anyone seeking a short, concise history of the program it is an excellent choice.
