reading guide to Carnap and Quine?

Looking for reading recommendations for Carnap and Quine. What are the best works (primary and secondary) for understanding their disagreements? In what order should I tackle these guys? Looking to understand logical positivism at its strongest and what is supposed to have contributed to its "extinction". I'm generally familiar with the big picture ideas of LP, but I want to get nitty gritty.

The short, classic papers are Carnap's *Empiricism, Semantic, and Ontology* and Quine's *Two Dogmas of Empiricism*. For a more extensive developments of their positions in general, Carnap's *Logical Construction of the World* and Quine's *Word and Object*. Neurath is the key figure mediating between them, and the crucial writings are mostly found in his *Philosophical Papers*. Uebel's *Overcoming Logical Positivism from Within* is an excellent secondary source covering the key developments.
