Does anyone know if there is a book or in-depth article about the Sprint/Spartan system, named Safeguard, hardware and software?

There is very little about it available online (see http://www.nuclearabms.info/Computers.html) but it was apparently an amazing programming effort running on UNIVAC.

I should have added that there is some material online here:

Linking to this Bell Labs history paper:

https://www.srmsc.org/ref1040.html

(and some contributions from specific authors about their subsystems).
