Too much narrative .. needs examples 
This is a book that talks a lot about Earned Value in terms of history and usefulness; how it advanced since 1967 C/SCSC to today's EVM standard.

Brings EVMS into perspective
Fleming and Koppelman have done a decent job of bringing the complex subject of Earned Value Management into perspective.

If you're planning on working in the EVMS field any time soon, I would recommend this as a good starting point to familiarize yourself with the subject.
