Welcome.
I do not know if it's the best place(or places because i send this mail to
rec.aviation.military and rec.aviation.piloting) to ask, but I don't know
any better.
I am searching for a book about modern fighter dogfighting, modern air
combat manoeuvering(excuse me but I do not know how to spell it) and so
on. I have only found this two books on amazon:

It is very hard to go wrong with the Gospel According to Shaw.

I don't know this one - It does look interesting.
Are you interested in simulation and Air Combat AIs?
If you are very technical, and know your way around algorithms,
NASA published a series of reports on logic developed to provide
proper behavior for 1970s and 1980s era 1 vs 1 combat.
The results were quite good - the code was inventing the proper maneuvers
just through use of its logic and the opponents situation.
If you'll bear with me, I'll try to dig out a reference.
For a more layman-oriented (and easier on the wallet) set of references,
check for books by Mike Spick, such as:

I'm sorry for all mistakes that I have done in this mail.
I assure you, sir, that your English is much better than my Polish.
You're doing just fine.
Greet,
Welcome to the group.
