"Fermat's Last Theorem: The Story of a Riddle That Confounded the 
World's Greatest Minds for 358 Years" by Simon Singh (Hardcover) Be 
careful, it is out of print, and Barnes & Noble lists several similar 
books by Singh, that may or may not be as good, including a recent 
paperback "Fermat's Last Theorem" and  "Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest 
to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem" by Simon Singh.  The 
first may be a cut down versions of the 1998 book, I don't know.  The 
second is more or less the script for the Nova episode "The Proof" which 
Singh put together.

Singh does a very good job of laying a trail of breadcrumbs that anyone 
should be able to follow.  But he also has lots of side trails and 
offhand remarks where you need your mountain climbing gear if you try to 
follow them.
