I am planning to read two papers - Atiyah-Bott's paper on Yang-Mills equations on Riemann surfaces and Hitchin's Self-Duality equations on Riemann Surface. Can someone please suggest some book where basics of Yang-Mills equations are discussed?

Thanks.

Perhaps I'm erring on the side of being too elementary, but how about the notes by Michael Nielsen:

More on the physics side, there is a highly readable book Quantum Field Theory by Lewis H. Ryder.
