Are there any books on why Socrates committed suicide?

The most important source of our understanding of the trial and death of Socrates are the relevant dialogues of Plato, particularly APOLOGY, CRITO, and PHAEDO. Socrates did not actually commit suicide in the usual sense. He was sentenced to death after a trial and, instead of escaping from prison when he had the opportunity, he accepted the death penalty. He did so because he found the alternatives unacceptable. .
