Aside from the most authoritative NTP Docs,

Not specially with running NTP, but with grasping
time concepts, PPS, Stratum-0 Devices, etc?
In short, where are the Cliff Notes
on the Ph.D lecture of Time and Time tracking devices?
<http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Network-Time-Synchronization-Protocol/dp/1439814635>
Has Sections on "Basic Concepts" and "How NTP Works".

Professor David Mills has written a book on NTP, which he more or less
invented. It's a text intended for a college course and fairly
expensive. I get the idea that a background in control systems theory
might be a big help in understanding NTP.
If you just want to install it and keep a bunch of computers marching to
the beat of an "atomic clock" somewhere, that's what it's for!
