"Lost Moon" by James Lovell. I believe this is the book the movie "Apollo 13" was based on. It starts with the heart wrenching Apollo 1 fire that killed Grissom, Chaffee and White. All the names of schools in my hometown of Huntsville, AL. The Rocket City. My FIL was backup launch crew for the Apollo 13 mission and said the movie caught the atmosphere of controlled panic and cooperation during that time. He was one of the guys in the hornrimmed glasses trying to get them back.
