elendil,
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/ - Dennis Ritchie's homepage (one of the founders of UNIX). Good information on origin and history of UNIX.
Based on the books you have listed, you might enjoy the book "Accidental Empires" by Robert X. Cringely. I also really enjoyed Clifford Stoll's "Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage." In addition to being educational, they are also interesting reads.
