I really enjoyed Mr. Kranz book "Failure is Not an Option"[1] (which covers a lot more than just the malfunction of Apollo 13), and his subsequent appearances in documentaries.
I heard an NPR story[2] a couple of weeks ago re: the reopening of the restored Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. Mr. Kranz was interviewed as part of the story. It was a joy to hear him speak, even briefly. He's very inspiring.
