Just be careful about the names. IIRC, S&T got in some trouble for the use of "Toyota" in the title.

You might also have a look at Kenneth Pollack's Arabs at War. If I recall correctly, he discusses that war and if so his bibliography would have something on it.
I would second Mark's recommendation of Arabs at War. For the wider conflict, it's extremely good. Also possibly useful from a different angle is a paper that was published here by William F. Owen, 'The Toyota Horde: Examining a Low Cost Military Capability' that deals with updating this concept. I've doublechecked the paper, and it has no details on Operation Manta or others in the Aozou Strip or further south, but provide a different angle on the subject.
Cheers
