Read "When Genius Failed The Rise and Fall of Long Term Capital Management" by Roger Lowenstein. It's definately a good read to get an insight into the issues.

For general news coverage on the disaster, I'm sure you can get tons of good articles by searching yahoo or google.

Do have a read the case study by the ERisk.
