The AIP has produced one of the most informative historical account of the history of quantum entanglement after EPR, especially on its development before Bell came up with his infamous inequality test. It is a two-parter, so you definitely want to read both.
Entanglement and experiment, part 1: Before Bell
Entanglement and experiment, part 2: Oral history of the first Bell tests
What I was not aware of was the early experiment by Chien-Shiung Wu in this area. She is definitely one of the giants of physics that should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. I'm glad this article finally gives her the recognition that she deserves, and it certainly gives me even more reason to admire her accomplishments.
