Have you tried Greenberg's _Indo-European and Its Closest Relatives:
The Euroasiatic Language Family : Lexicon_? I gave it as a gift to
a historical linguist friend of mine, and he said he found it very
useful.

I don't know of any books, but there's a article on the typology
of Siberian languages that discusses some historical facts in a
festschrift entitled _Current Trends in Caucasian, East European and
Inner Asian Linguistics: Papers in Honor of Howard I. Aronson_
