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.
I'm a bit surprised, Harry. Knowing some your other interests, I would have assumed that roughly half your reading was non-fiction.
