Are Symposium Books as Comprehensive for Particle Physics History?

[Gullets]

TL;DR Summary

Guys, please recommend me a Book or articles regarding the history of Particle physics.

Books like Griffith, Martin, and Perkins are best if I consider them for the thorough history of particle physics.

The First Three Minutes is pretty good to get started.

I really liked Giudice's A Zeptospace Odyssey,

Being a more senior person, I enjoyed "Inward Bound. Of Matter and Forces in the Physical World" by Abraham Pais (Oxford University Press, 1986). From X-rays and alpha-particles to the discovery of the Z. It details the conceptual struggles and covers the years 1815 to 1984, according to the chronology.

I read "Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory" by George Gamow.
It is very catchy with a lot of personal impressions and anecdotes.
Now I'm looking for a book with more details and formulas.
Amazon > "Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory" by George Gamow
