Although I greatly enjoy Anatoly Zak's contributions here (and his site), I fear this will be yet another series which champions Apollo while ignoring the Soviet side. Getting Asif Siddiqi in there for the Soviet part of the Moon race might be a better idea (I've got the book here, good read).
But I've also concluded that if you want to tell the story of the space race, you really have to work hard to be new and original. There's a lot of stuff done that is pretty good, and it requires a lot of effort to get a new angle.
