[i]His 1998 book, "This New Ocean: The Story of the First Space Age," was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in history. Reviewing it in The New York Times Book Review, Alex Roland, a history professor at Duke University, called it the "most successful general survey of space history yet to appear" and said it was "distinguished by the successful integration of three different story lines: manned spaceflight, the militarization of space and space science." Also in The Times Book Review, the historian Michael Beschloss wrote that Mr. Burrows's 2001 book, "By Any Means Necessary: America's Secret Air War in the Cold War," was "an authoritative volume on espionage from space." And in reviewing an earlier Burrows book in The Times, "Deep Black: Space Espionage and National Security" (1986), John Newhouse, a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution, said that the author had described the activities of manned and unmanned systems deployed in space and the upper atmosphere in a way that made them "seem more remarkable than exploits of human spies."[/i]
