Looks like there's some work on Ainur in literary journals; you've got a few things you could work with in that regard, if you wanted to get into critical reception: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=10&q=ainur+tolkien&hl=en&as_sdt=0,4

I struggled a little more with a quick search for the Battle of Strasburg -- lots more about StrasbOurg, but still, here's an interesting looking book on the subject: https://books.google.com/books?id=Q8FXLY3vKv8C&ots=-PRhuNweEn&dq=%22battle%20of%20strasburg%22%20civil%20war&lr&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q=strasburg&f=false

To my surprise, the most I found, though, was about the "Lay Children of Hurin": https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=13668989696426326378&as_sdt=1005&sciodt=0,4&hl=en There's actually kind of a lot there, and that article is quite short!

I'd be OK with any of these, but based on that quick search it seems to me like "Lay Children" would be the easiest to source and the most "stubby" of those stubs.
