Can someone recommend a good book on the details of implementing risk factor mapping for VaR?

Not looking for a high-level discussion.  I'd like a reference that goes into the details / techniques of an actual realistic implementation.

Back in the day, the BARRA risk model was popular: http://www.alacra.com/alacra/help/barra_handbook_US.pdf
