Learning Yang-Mills theory and fiber bundles geometrically

[quickAndLucky]

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of a good intuitive resource for learning Yang-Mills theory and Fiber Bundles? Ultimately my goal is to gain a geometric understanding of gauge theory generally. I have been studying differential forms and exterior calculus. Thanks!

I know several resources for this topic, but I don't find any of them particularly intuitive. So I will wait to see what will the others recommend.

Nobody else seems to have anything in mind. Would appreciate hearing what you have used!

I'm interested in the answers, as well, especially because of the intuition requirement. My own intuition ends with the imagination of a field of wheat. And from there to the technical details is a long, long way.

I like this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/0444860177/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It does have a lot of visuals, but the book isn't just for Yang-Mills/Fibre bundles if that is what you're looking for.

Nakahara’s Geometry, Topology & Physics is a popular choice. I started learning differential geometry from it.

I liked Fecko's Differential Geometry and Lie Groups for Physicists.

I'ver recently found

I've not read much in the book yet. So I can't say, whether it's good or not, but it seems to cover a lot of the mathematical foundations, usually not found in standard QFT textbooks for physicists, and it's written in the Mathematicians' dry style ;-)).
