Strange Angel

The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons

by George Pendle

A readable biography that sets Jack Parsons's rocket research at Caltech, Aerojet and the early Jet Propulsion Laboratory alongside his Thelemic life in Pasadena. Pendle places the Babalon Working, the Hubbard affair and Parsons's later security troubles in the context of pre-war and post-war Southern California.
