"Moonshot" by Dan Parry
I don't read non-fiction books all that often, but I thoroughly recommend this one to anyone interested in space travel. Dan Parry tells the story of the Apollo 11 lunar landing is a way that's as close as you'll get to "being there". The book takes you right through the mission, from takeoff through to splashdown back on Earth, interspersed with the background story of American manned spaceflight. It's very well written, and gives an absolutely enthralling account of the first manned lunar landing.
Very highly recommended.
