Lots of material about the Russian side of the story, and the narrative of Gagarin’s voyage is truly exciting to read.
Highly recommended.

Just finished this one. You're right, it's a great read. Exciting, sometimes disturbing, and very informative. We've all heard so much about the US program, this one's mostly about the Soviets, and it's a heck of a story! I can definitely second your recommendation.
