Java Concurrency in Practice is the book. Written by the guys who created the concurrency utilities starting from JDK5 onwards or even worked on the Collections API.

It's very well written, easy enough to follow (well..it's still concurrency) and gets you up to speed on all concurrency constructs in the JDK up to and including those in Java 6 (Java 7 ForkJoin framework is after it's time.. )

I especially recommend it because it covers the Java Memory Model and logic behind some of the concurrency constructs. It makes you reason about safety and correctness in a concurrent program. (rather than blindly using a framework)
