References for classical Yang-Mills theory 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.
 A: 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.
A: I would add: Atiyah, Michael F. (1979), Geometry of Yang–Mills fields and then the book of the same author about gauge theories: Atiyah, Michael F. (1988e), Collected works. Vol. 5 Gauge theories
A: Have you tried the book "the Geometry of physics" by Th. Frankel?
A: Maybe you can have a look to Nakahara's Geometry, Topology and Physics, or is it too elementary for your purposes?
A: My personal suggestion is 'Differential Geometry, Gauge Theories, and Gravity' by M. Gockeler and T. Schucker.  However, it assumes a fairly high degree of mathematical sophistication (it's one of the texts in the 'Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics).  If you do get it, it is really worth the effort to master the topics inside, and the range of topics covered is fascinating.
