is a reference book on the production of Star Trek: The Original Series written from the first-person perspective of the operational decision makers at the time, in this case the producers. Both authors, Herbert Solow and Robert Justman, a studio executive on the first two seasons and a producer on the near entire run respectively, were two of the ...
From the book jacket Before the actors were cast, before the U.S.S. Enterprise™ was designed, before the phenomenon exploded, there were three men who set about creating the Star Trek
INSIDE STAR TREK is a comprehensive look at the development and life of a television and cultural phenomenon. It is also the story no one else could tell. Between them, Solow and Justman had a hand in virtually every aspect of the development and production of Star Trek
•While a reference book, also dealing with the operational managerial aspects, was already written as early as 1968, The Making of Star Trek (followed as recently with the 2013 book series These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, et al. and which heavily references Inside Star Trek), this work was mostly written from a third-person perspective, even though contemporary internal memos were literally quoted. Inside Star Trek, afforded the authors an opportunity to tell their side of the story in their own words, elaborating on information given in prior works by delving deeper into the subject matter at hand. It allowed them to dispense intimate information that authors of other works, including those written by former Original Series cast members, were usually not privy to, which included the everlasting balancing act the producers had to perform between the interests of the studio executives and their own creative staff. Much production information on the Original Series was divulged in this book for the first time. To date it, and its derivatives, remain some of the most important and influential works on the creation of The Original Series.
•Three years previously, former Captain James T. Kirk performer William Shatner had written an autobiography covering the Original Series-era in which he also delved in-depth into the "making-of" aspects of the series. That book, Star Trek Memories, did share similarities with the one Justman and Solow wrote. Ironically though, Shatner's book has never been quite recognized as a making-of reference book – even though he had interviewed several production staffers contrary to Justman and Solow, who had not, writing from their own first person perspectives, which, again ironically, makes their work actually the more autobiographically one – and as such was overshadowed by Inside Star Trek.
•Justman incidentally, had colloborated on Shatner's book, but was not pleased by Shatner's history redacting to his own glorification when he, upon reading the book, discovered that he had been taken out of two behind-the-scenes events (among others in the creation of Ruk for "What Are Little Girls Made Of?") and replaced by Shatner himself. "Shatner was not even on the set the days these events occurred. I did agree to do a lengthy interview with him, and did spent a great deal of time with him. I was surprised that he totally removed me from both events, and placed himself in the center of things," Justman later decried. (Cinefantastique, Vol 26 #2, p. 17) Whether or not this was in any way related, fact remained that Shatner became the only major Original Series veteran, not consulted by the authors for their book, as his name is conspiciously absent from the acknowledgements pages at the end of the book.
•And indeed, Shatner's book became part of the reasons for Solow as well, to embark on his book project in the first place, "About three years ago, I began hearing about writers writing books [sic: a diplomatic Solow did specifically refer to Shatner's book] about what went on during the original series' production. They didn't really know what went on with us [remark: implicitly admitted by Shatner by him interviewing third parties]. I was the one who was there and knew what really happened, so I thought I should write a book and put out the real story. One book out there seemed to say that I never came to work some days and didn't have any involvement in Star Trek whatsoever [remark: Shatner had Oscar Katz mistaken for Solow]. I felt it had come time to write a book about my involvement in Star Trek, and what really happened, so I enlisted Bob Justman and we wrote a book." (X)
•As it turned out, Justman had already been planning for a similar book before he was approached by Solow, "Well, I had started to, with Steve Poe, and we never finished even writing a presentation, because Steve got busy with several other projects when Star Trek: The Next Generation [sic: Justman meant Voyager] started. So I put my research on the back burner. Then, later, Herb came by and said he was writing a book, and I said "What about me?" (X)
•It is for obvious reasons not commonplace in the corporate world to divulge specifics surrounding business deals, aside from general press announcements. This was also true in the case of the events surrounding the acquisition of Desilu Studios by Gulf+Western in 1967 and the cancellation decision(s) by NBC in 1968 and 1969 respectively, the latter of which in particular having given rise to much speculation and hearsay in Star Trek lore, not in the least due to Roddenberry's spin-doctoring efforts in "Trekdom", as Solow has observed. While Justman was not privy to any of these events, Solow as a Desilu executive was, and it was in this book that details surrounding these two events were disclosed for the first time, in the process dispelling some of the myths that had arisen in the intervening years. However, him going somewhat out on a limb for his former employer NBC in order to present a more even-keeled account of the events, as well as his debunking of Bjo Trimble's famous "spontaneous" fan letter writing campaign that saved The Original Series for a third season as being surreptitiously orchestrated by Roddenberry, did not sit well with the more partisan elements in Trekdom. Nonetheless, the book has since then become accepted as the authoritative Original Series production reference source by media scholars (such as NBC: America's Network and Star Trek and American Television academic authors Máire Messenger Davies and Roberta Pearson), later reference book authors (most conspiciously Marc Cushman, whose massive three-tome These Are the Voyages: TOS reference work is built around the information provided in Inside Star Trek), and the less puritanical elements of Trekdom alike.

Inside Star Trek is a comprehensive look at the development and life of a television and cultural phenomenon. It is also a story no one else could tell.
