   "Structured Assembler Language For IBM Microcomputers"

   https://archive.org/details/structured-assembler-language-fo...

   Or just go to MASM documentation, you will find plenty of directives that look like an high level language

   I came here to recommend Assembly Language for the PC(https://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Language-Brady-programming-l...) which I believe is actually the same book, possibly with some updates. I was probably 14 years old and bought a boxed copy of Borland Turbo Assembler for $100 at the software store at the mall. Totally worth it.

   I've never actually written assembly professionally, but the understanding of what's going on at the CPU level has been invaluable. You could probably run FreeDOS(http://www.freedos.org/) in a VM, looks like it comes with a couple different assemblers.

   I worked through Assembly Language for the PC(http://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Language-Brady-programming-li...) in highschool. You start with the basics and at then end you have a working hex editor, for DOS anyway. In terms of programming knowledge gained it was more than any college class I took, heck more than most college semesters.
