I second Al's recommendation - Deborah Cadbury's "Space Race". A real insight into the Von Braun/Korolev struggles with their own agencies. Brilliantly written.
Second - I also vote for Andrew Chaikin's "A Man on the Moon". Probably my favourite.
I'm also reading (Kindle):
"Moon Lander" - Tom Kelly
"The Man Who Ran the Moon" - James E. Webb
"How Apollo Flew to the Moon" - W. David Woods
"Rocket Man" - Pete Conrad
"Apollo" - Charles Murray & Catherine Bly Cox
And for something different: "Energiya-Buran" - the Soviet Shuttle by Bart Hendrickx
