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.

So, I read it. I absolutely agree with what Harry said. "Moonshot" - book difficult to put down and makes you hold your breath. Very informative, excellently written with attention to detail. I truly recommend it too.
