I am currently about 1/2 way through "Return of the Last Gang in Town"
by Marcus Gray, which is an unflinching look at the band.

It's an interesting read, though it might be more information than I
really need to know about them. 

I'm up to the release of London Calling, an important album from my 
formative years, and it's amusing to see some of the knee-jerk reactions
from people who were already bemoaning the death of punk.  (As far as I
can tell, real punk was dead by the time 2 dozen people were playing it
and more than 500 people listening to it.)
