I'm on a TV quiz soon - special subject Soviet rocket engineer SP Korolev - what do I need to k

I'm going on one of the UK's most venerable TV quiz shows in the spring and have two months to research the life and times of SP Korolev. What books should I be reading? What are the things absolutely need to know about the man and those around him? Are there any good videos that I should be tracking down - I've already got 'The Space Race' - and what do you think are the most likely questions (there'll be about 20 in total) that the questioners will ask me?

I thought the whole bloody point was that you answered questions on something you actually know about. Leaving it a bit late ain't you?

The BBC book "Space Race" by Deborah Cadbury would be a good start. I don't know if it's got anything that wasn't in the TV series though.
