The book "Dealers of Lightning" deals with this, and many things about Xerox PARC, its a great read.

Or you can read Dream Machine [0] as recommended by Alan Kay. It deals with everything mostly leading up to and during PARC.

I bought this book - but boy are paper versions of it expensive, I'll read it and see how it compares to dealers.
