Resources for learning macro for rates vol?

I worked on a bank sell side rates vol desk, and have a decent understanding of the quantitative side of rates vol trading (realized vol, risk management, etc), but am transitioning to a buy side fund where they do more macro overlays (both duration and vol/distributional). Are there good books to read to get a better understanding of this side of the world and how to think about things? Any recommendations or anti recommendations are appreciated.

My list so far:

Trillion Dollar Triage

Central Banking 101

Inside the House of Money

Alchemy of Finance
