C. Northcote Parkinson is the guy who wrote PARKINSON'S LAW and several other books about the nature of bureaucracy. It is a minor classic, and quite funny. It might still be in print, but if not you can easily get a used copy.
Another good read is SYSTEMATICS, a small book on why and how systems fail. My favorite is "A fail-safe system fails by failing to fail safely."
