I have read quite a few written by the Russians, and they are incredibly revealing, forcing you to see it all in totally different light. The level of detail there is incredible. At this moment I am still reading the books by general Kamanin. If you don't know what that is, that means you really need to catch up on your space history.
If you were to limit yourself to just two authors, then books by Chertok and Kamanin would be it.
I am wondering if anyone could recommend similar reading on US space program.
