It isn't about the roads but if you're touring the alps there's a book called "The Alps - a cultural history" by Andrew Beattie which is a good read.
Gives a potted history of how the area has been faught over for centuries, and how people changed from thinking mountains were terrifying ugly places to beautiful places and a tourist destination.
Kind of puts all the passes you ride over in context when you know a little about how they were crossed by people before their was tarmac and GS's.
