While it's not a history of punk per se, if you haven't read the Lester Bangs collection Psychotic Reactions & Carburetor Dung (http://www.amazon.com/Psychotic-Reactions-Carburetor-Dung-Literature/dp/0679720456), I highly recommend it. In addition to being smart and energetic and intimately engaged with punk as a genre (not to even touch on his bizarre relationship with Lou Reed), it's some of the most hilarious (and essential) music criticism ever.
