Reddit reviews Eccentric Orbits: The Iridium Story

There is a book about Iridium that came out recently called Eccentric Orbits by John Bloom. I recommend it if you are interested in commercial space companies or the communications business generally. I also recommend it if you're interested in endless bureaucratic manoeuvring -- which I'm not but I found those parts tolerable enough to enjoy the book overall.

(If you click "Look Inside" by the cover I believe you will be able to read the beginning pages of the book, which Amazon has as a "Kindle Sample".)
