Zen Demystified - Rafael Pintos-López

The title of this book is quite clear. It is about Zen Buddhism, but explained for a Western readership. Zen is famously obscure in terms of logic, or any kind of intellectual explanation. This book attempts just that. It explains how Zen operates. It does it with words, but it does not purport to replace Zen meditation practice. It is like an introductory brochure to a practice that may be life changing.
