I recommend this book if you have little or no knowledge. It is a quick introduction. He also includes a wonderful bibliography, if you wish to read more. I will vouch for the majority of the sources, in that I have already read many of them and give them high marks. If you are the type of reader who is not too keen on burdensome scholoarly works, these sources are a good bet. The average reader will enjoy.
