Another good one--a seminal and classic one for therapists, I think--is Under the Influence by Milam and Ketcham. My wife read it with me. It talks about the physiological facts of alcohol and how people get trapped in cycles of binging, abusing, and ultimately alcoholism. It might help him understand that science and biology really can explain at least part of the controlling influence of it. You can download it on the Kindle, iPad, or Kindle for iPad.
Hope this helps!
