  <li><a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/185744681X" rel="nofollow">Chess Developments: The Modern Benoni</a> by Richard Pallister.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My experience with the Chess Development series arises from the <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857446755" rel="nofollow">Dragon</a> and <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857446895" rel="nofollow">Grunfeld</a> books, which definitely are worth the money if that is what you are looking for.</p>
  
  <p>I obviously have not fully read them all. I have read a couple of chapters of the first three books, and the last one comes from my experience with the series as a whole.</p>

  Depending on what you are looking for, there are a few interesting books. If you are looking for a book to start to learn the opening, I suggest you take a look at:
  
  * [Starting out: Modern Benoni](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857443667) by Endre Dr. Vegh.
  
  In such case, you may also want to round up your repertoire with the companion book:
  
  * [Starting out: Benoni Systems](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857443799) by Alex Raetsky.
  
  Which provides a more complete coverage of some similar lines (but not exactly the same, although some intersection is inevitable) that are not exactly achieved through the main move order.
  
  If you already know how to play or what you want to play and are looking only for ideas, then the Dangerous Weapons book is definitely what you may want to check:
  
  * [Dangerous Weapons: The Benoni and Benko](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857445716) by several authors.
  
  Last but not least, if you are already a well versed player on the Modern Benoni and just want to keep up with some theoretical developments in the last years, and what trends are being followed, I strongly suggest the book:
  
  * [Chess Developments: The Modern Benoni](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/185744681X) by Richard Pallister.
  
  My experience with the Chess Development series arises from the [Dragon](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857446755) and [Grunfeld](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857446895) books, which definitely are worth the money if that is what you are looking for.
  
  I obviously have not fully read them all. I have read a couple of chapters of the first three books, and the last one comes from my experience with the series as a whole.
