"L'alba dei Nuraghi" by Giovanni Ugas if you understand Italian, but it lacks some of the most recent developments.

The archaeology of Nuragic Sardinia by Gary Webster (2015) is ideal since it's both in English and up to date.

From what I know the Romans and other invading civilizations never got in

The Bell Beaker people from the European mainland taught them everything.

Roman sources say that the Carthaginians tried to conquer Sardinia in its entirety under king Malco around 530 bc, he invaded with an army of 80,000 men but got his ass handed to him, his whole army was captured/killed and when he returned to Carthage he was killed because of his shameful defeat

Stop wewuzing. Sardinia was a Carthaginian colony.

Sardinian confirmed scandis

So Roman sources lied about Sardinians winning (for what reason?) despite Romans notoriously hating Sardinians, and it's not just that source, but multiple Greek sources too stating that both the population in the Campidano and in Gallura withstanded the Carthaginian invasion?

Sardinia wasn't really a colony but more of an ally, that's why they allied with Carthaginians against the Romans during the 2nd Punic war.

Such as?

The bell beakers who came to Sardinia probably came from Iberia anyway and not from Central Europe judging by the similarity of their weapons and structures

There is some sort of Nuraghe in Portugal and the Motillas in Southern Spain, but Sardinian Nuraghi are much more monumental and architecturally complex (some of them have up to three tholoi on top of eachother and reached a height of 30 meters), plus Nuragics came up with other structures such as well temples, acqueducts, baths and sanctuaries.

Not to mention human sized statues which is something they came up with on their own centuries before the Greeks.
