Could you suggest a book that explores go history in a way a layman can follow? The way you explain it, it seems extremely interesting.

I dont know about history, but a book i can recommend is First Kyu. Very short and easy read about an aspiring professional play in Korea in the 50's.

It containes many of the woes that haunt pro players.
