Pure Finance / Econ. Books for Different Investing Strategies

What books / resources are available to learn in detail the types of analysis that are performed at places like Elliot, Soros, Apollo Hybrid Value, BX Tac Ops etc, i.e. non-typical corporate valuation.

I have a pretty insatiable desire to learn things and don't mind going through the most boring, dense finance / economics textbooks you can recommend, so long as it covers the topic in detail.
