Any well written history books about the infamous Skunk Works?

this looks promising

Thanks for the link but I just worry that your suggestion is just an overextended public relations brochure rather then a well written, well researched history book from a relatively neutral third party author. Much of the juicy details cut out from self censorship. It is a for profit organization working for the military industrial complex and they're not going to cite many of their failing products. Might drive down their stock prices.

Amazon works pretty good to find books, and in my experience the reviews have been helpful.

don't want official, maybe this then

Anyway, look around Amazon and then google promising books as well as the authors. If the first two pages of the search have no negative reviews or comments then chances are that it is a good book.
