"Red Star In Orbit" by James E Oberg has been an incredibly good read so far. The one downside to it all is that it was written a decade before the fall of the USSR. So any fascinating tidbits that were revealed during/after the fall are missing. But don't let that dissuade you from the book! I personally like the cold war feel the book has. My favorite thing about the book is that Oberg covers what the Soviets said happened, what the West speculated had happened, and then finally (as best as he can tell from leaks, defectors, etc.) what really happened. Incredibly good read.
