I am looking for a reference to study classical (i.e., not quantized) Yang-Mills theory. 


Most of the sources I find focus on mathematical aspects of the theory, like Bleecker's book *Gauge theory and variational principles*, or Baez & Muniain's *Gauge fields, knots and gravity*.


But I am more interested something similar to the standard development of electromagnetism, as can be found, for example, in Landau & Lifchitz's course on theoretical physics. To be more exact, I would like to learn about the field equations (Yang-Mills and Einstein equations), but also about the corresponding Lorentz Law, the energy of the Yang-Mills field,... and the analogous concepts of what is made for the electromagnetism.


That is, I look for a rigorous exposition where, at the same time, I could learn whether it is possible to prove, at the classical level, the quick decrease of the strong interaction, and things like that.



References for classical Yang-Mills theory
This is underrepresented in the literature. I have Nakahara and have looked at Frenkel (both listed in other answers) as well as many other "standard" references. The best book reference for classical YM theory that I found was [Rubakov's *Classical Theory of Gauge Fields*.](http://books.google.com/books?id=BxjL6EkIpfUC)
