I hated Golombek's hagiography of Capablanca. There are far better, less cloying books on Capablanca.
I'm surprised that Mihail Marin's
Learn From the Legends (2004) hasn't been mentioned yet. He looks at the endgames of some of the greats, including Mikhail Tal!
Edit: I just noticed that Stigma mentioned this. Sorry!
One of the problems with books dealing with endgame strategy is that they are often either too specific or too broad. Shereshevsky's classic resolved that by focusing on endgames that may occur as a result of specific openings.
Dvoretsky's
Secrets of Chess Training resolved the problem by focusing on adjourned positions. This was the first of Dvoretsky's English language training books and is rightly considered extremely difficult, but rewarding reading.
I really liked Beliavsky's
Winning Endgame Technique to explain some key strategies, especially in minor piece endings.
Another book that I really loved that fits this discussion is Jon Speelman's
Analysing the Endgame. He starts out with concrete pawn endings, but quickly moves on to more complex endings. He includes a very helpful index based on themes, as well as indices of composers and material. The book was published in 1981, and it remains one that I refer back to fairly regularly.
