The Anabaptists and Contemporary Baptists: Restoring New Testament Christianity
There was a discussion of this on MD, the loss of which is lamented.

There's a bit too much attention given to Hubmaier IMO, not entirely unexpected given his Schwertler views and their alignment with SBC theology, but the rest is worth reading.
This book would be at the top of my list for anyone who wants a broader understanding of the Anabaptist part of the Reformation.

Another book that is at the top of the list especially as it relates to how Anabaptism intersects with the rest of the reformation is the book. "The Theology of The Reformers" by Timothy George.

I wait to see just what it is they are praising before inflicting personal injury. With those two (plus Hus as previously mentioned, and Zwingli and others of the Reformers as well) there are plenty of things they didn't get right, but there are some things they did, and their courage in the context of their times is worth noting. I'm not sure the Anabaptist movement would have developed in the way it did without their presence on the stage.
