And a Bottle of Rum is absolutely the book you're wanting.
Smuggler's Cove has several decent sections on rum, including some history and a lot of subdivisions and classifications.
Potions of the Caribbean is another great book more focused on the influence of cocktails in the Caribbean, but has some good insights on rum as well.
Check out this book. It's all about the History of the Americas and how Rum influenced quite a lot of it.

I'd suggest checking out the "Rum Links" section in the sidebar, particularly the beginner's guide to rum. Additionally, And a Bottle of Rum is an informative book.
For an off-kilter non-fiction read, I really enjoyed "And A Bottle Of Rum: The History Of The New World In 12 Cocktails" amazon
Solid podcast so far.
