If one trusts Wikipedia any more. Its article contents do change substantially over time and by the time some future reader finds this post the contents of that link might be quite different. Linux, as a kernel, is not too controversial ... yet ... but m$ does gain a lot through revisionism. So it might be worth looking at that page's history first, the actual diffs, not the summaries which are often misleading.
Anyway, there are some old school style paper books by well-respected authors covering the start of Linus Torvalds' Linux written before the fight got too political. One would be the book
Rebel Code: The Inside Story of Linux and the Open Source Revolution by Glyn Moody. If you are in luck your one of your local libraries will have it available. Otherwise there are a lot of places to order it.
