Reading suggestions on recent ND football history?

It has struck me recently that I am pretty well-versed in the Rockne, Parseghian, and Weis/Kelly eras of ND football but not really in the 90s. I watched the games but was too young to follow/be interested in the Holtz/Monk/Wadsworth/etc. machinations until I got to campus in 2000.

Anybody know of a good book or magazine articles on this time period? The problem is most of what I know of already is either valedictories on coaches or hit pieces.

Is Touchdown Jesus by Scott Eden the best place to start?
