Here's the one I always recommend first. Volumes 6-8 of Philip Schaff's, HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. It is a VERY good read and can be picked up in a number of formats ( 8 volume hardcover set; Logos Library System; Kindle; or read it for free online here: http://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/history/About.htm )

Enjoy ..

If you're interested in theology, I suggest McGrath, "Reformation Though." it's one of the standard Reformation history textbooks. If you're more a historian there are other works that concentrate more on history, including things such as social history. But my guess is that readers of this group will prefer McGrath's orientation.

History of the Reformation of the Sixteenth Century by J. H. Merle D'Aubigne

All good recommendations so far. I would also recommend J.A. Wylie, C.B. Hassell and Sylvester Hassell.

Look for author Hans Hillerbrand. He wrote extensively on the Reformation and may be its greatest historian.
