The best book I have read on the subject is: "The Deal of the Century"
by Steven Coll. I think Coll did a  great  job of presenting the story
without a bias. The book was very interesting/entertaining to read.

Also, "Telecommunications in Turmoil" by  Gerald Faulhaber  is  pretty
good at presenting the facts of the break-up. It is not as complete as
Deal, but gets thru the  whole thing much  quicker  and presents  good
arguments for both sides on all of the major issues.
