For logic: Language, Truth and Logic by AJ Ayer. It is an account that tried to introduce logical positivism to the English speaking world after the author visited Vienna in the 1930s. While logical positivism didn’t pan out, the book is full of the excitement of resolving multiple perennial philosophical problems all at once. The author’s enthusiasm is infectious.
For a more sociological view of what happened to logical empiricism in the US (and I'd argue, to analytic philosophy in general), George Reisch's "How the Cold War Transformed Philosophy of Science: To the Icy Slopes of Logic" is awesome.
