Brattleboro Literary Festival: Challenger - Adam Higginbotham with Rafil Kroll-Zaidi

On January 28, 1986, just 73 seconds into flight, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Adam Higginbotham’s Challenger tells the story of what happened. Millions of Americans witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Like the assassination of JFK, the Challenger disaster is a defining moment in twentieth-century history—one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Adam Higginbotham was born in England and lives with his family in New York City. Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space, his second book, won the 2024 National Book Critics Circle Award. Rafil Kroll-Zaidi is a contributing editor of Harper’s Magazine. He has been writing the journal’s popular Findings column, among other features, since 2007. Sponsored by the Richards Group.
