You should read Dragonfly, NASA and the crisis aboard Mir.  It is written
by Bryan Burrough. I found it an excellent book and I enjoyed reading it
from the first to the last page.  

I believe Michael Foale has written a book but I don't have much
information on that.

Something we can look out for is an new BIS publication 'The History of Mir
1986-2000' which is close to be published.  Maybe Bart Hendrickx, Andrew
Salmon, Phillip Clark or Rex Hall can tell us more about it.
