Thanks you for taking the time the answer. To me one of the better things about Kluger's book was the way it detailed the mission and didn't focus on the year 1968, which has been the focus of every other telling I've encountered. The Apollo 8 episode of From The Earth To The Moon was aptly titled "1968" as the actual moonshot was almost an afterthought. It might not cover all the same ground as the previous book but it kind of sounds like it's covering familiar ground all the same. I'll still check it out though but I don't think I'll kick it to the top of my reading list.
