  I read the big Richard Rhodes classics [1] a long time ago. Now I'm mostly reading blogs, declassified primary sources, and publications from open source intelligence. Two somewhat lesser known books I recommend if you are looking for details more than broad history are U.S. Nuclear Weapons: The Secret History and The Swords of Armageddon, both by Chuck Hansen. Both are currently out of print. The latter can be found on Library Genesis. I scanned The Secret History about 10 years ago and uploaded it to a technical book sharing forum but sadly nobody seems to have propagated my scan to Library Genesis and I can't be bothered to go through their sign-up process right now. [1] The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb.
