What is the definitive book on Billy Martin?

I'd like to read a book or two on Billy Martin, but I want to make them count. I'd appreciate any insightful suggestions.

    "Billy Martin: Baseball's Flawed Genius" by Bill Pennington gives some insight into what made Martin tick.

    "Damn Yankee: The Billy Martin Story"by Maury Allen is good but dated (written in 1980).

    "The Last Yankee: The Turbulent Life of Billy Martin" by David Falkner is also very good and was written just three years after Martin's death.

    I am not aware of any books on Martin, I know he was a World Series hero for NYY and a fiery manager for the Tigers, A's & Yankees.

    He was an alcoholic manager.
