Depends on what you mean by "internals". Several people mentioned the ABCs which are great, but I don't know that they teach "internals". Some of the others mentioned would be better. One I still have that I think does fit the term "internals" is "MVS Control Blocks" by Hank Murhpy. Also one of the J. Ranade IBM Series. While the book was written in circa MVS/ESA, it is still a good book and even though there are more bells and whistles in today's OS.
