Play the Benko Gambit (Everyman Chess Series) by Pederson, Nicolai. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781857446340.

The Benko Gambit is undoubtedly one of Blacks most exciting openings. In return for a pawn investment Black gains long-term pressure, which is so strong it often lasts into the endgame! White must decide whether to grab the pawn and hold on, or to choose a more aggressive approach. Either way, Black succeeds in unbalancing the position from a very early stage. In this book, Nicolai V. Pedersen presents a practical repertoire for Black within the Benko Gambit. He also covers various options White has of avoiding the Benko, and how to deal with these situations.
