"The Hut Six Story" by Gordon Welchman.  Not just a history, it has a
number of lessons about security and management that are still valid. The
review at 
http://spyinggame.me/2011/05/14/the-hut-six-story-by-gordon-welchman-1997/
suggests that it might be as well to get the original 1982 edition. (Even
if the threat of a Soviet blitzkrieg is no longer significant.)

"Legacy of Ashes" Tim Weiner. Donovan and the Dulles' disastrous CIA
legacy. http://www.randomhouse.com/doubleday/legacyofashes/legacy.htm

The Chua Lectures on memristors and their remarkable power in circuits  
https://ssl.www8.hp.com/hpmatter/event/chua-lectures-first-12-part-series-hp-labs
The series is half over, but there are recordings of the earlier ones.
Chua's lecturing style can be maddening at times, and "garish" would be a
polite description of his slides, but the content is sufficiently
interesting, (neurons are involved), to make it worth tolerating.
