First on the Moon: A Voyage With Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. by Neil Armstrong
Excellent description of both the lunar voyage and American life circa 1969.
I watched the lunar landing from a tiny TV set imported into my New Hampshire sleepaway camp during July 1969. We couldn't really see the moon that night; like much of that "summer" it was pouring rain.
The book helped me fill in what I missed by not reading daily papers while away at camp. It put me back into history.
