I been reading "Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics" and I've been enjoying it. The first few chapters (I'm about a third through) are mainly a history lesson about the development of the game in various areas, and the spread of basic tactical structures (2-5-3, the WM, etc). But it features a lot of biographical information about key people in the process (ie Hugo Meisl, Mourinho, many more)

I thought it was good.
Not a long read, but very interesting description of the recovery from injury.
