I am looking for a book that would explain how threads, mutexes, semaphores work at a low level. At one time, Jeff Alger's book "C ++ for Real Programmers" helped me a lot to understand some of the features of C ++. And I'm interested in a book of the same level of accessibility. I already have experience in programming multi-threaded applications in C++/Qt and Java. But still there is a feeling that frameworks hide most of the work. And I would like to understand how the operating system manages threads, locks, semaphores, how all this is organized at a lower level, perhaps even at the level of processor commands.
Please recommend some good book. It is possible in English.

If it's in C++, then apart from Concurrency in action nothing comes to mind.
If we consider multithreading in Windows, then Windows via C ++
Several articles on the topic:
Synchronization Primitives New To Windows Vista
A series of articles by Sutter
Something from Intel

David R. Butenhof - Programming with POSIX Threads A
detailed, good description of the principles of work, with examples written in a living language.
