Edit: Nevermind, you seem to be a foreigner, and I think the book I mentioned is not available in English. Then I’d recommend the one by Barleti.

The one by Oliver Jens Schmitt.

1 is a must read since Marin Barleti lived in Skanderbegs era and is his earliest biographer, it also has modern interpretation and input from two other historians in it.
Havent read number 3 but heard its really good from other people.
I have only read no.3 so that’s the only one i can wholly recommend. It gives a very accurate and condensed version of Skenderbej’s history, where he came from, how he acted, the alliances and rivalries he had to navigate and the like. Though i need to give a disclaimer if the name didnt already give it away, the book presents everything from the viewpoint of Skenderbej as a Christian warrior fighting against Muslim expansion rather than a more neutral/nuanced viewpoint. Its still very factual and many sources are referenced and cited just wanted to give a heads up.

Libri i Plasarit mbi Skenderbeun eshte shume i mire, interesant nuk e permend njeri dhe pse e kuptoj disi ngaqe nuk duket i pelqyeshem si individ ndoshta..

Almost no mention of the most researched and most realistic one : Skanderbeg by Oliver Jens Schmitt.

I’d say either 1 or 4, but I have a bias for 1, so take that as you will
Edit: Mistyped 4 as 3.

Some of his noble deeds for sure.
Schmitt natyrisht.
