'A Man on the Moon' is a terrific book focused on the astronauts. Consider also reading 'Apollo: Race to the Moon', Charles Murray and Catherine Bly Cox for more of the engineering perspective. They cover everything from building the F-1 engines used in the Saturn V first stage, to the lunar module, to the vehicles used to transport the assembled rockets to the launch pad, to the organization of mission control and the project overall. My favorite book on the Apollo program.
