I've found Stewart's book a much better introduction to BGP:

John W. Stewart: BGP4 Interdomain Routing in the Internet. ISBN 0-201-37951-1 

If you've never seen BGP before, you'll get lost with Halabi.  Read it
after you've read Stewart.

You may also want to check out http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~ji/F02/.
That's the home page of the graduate-level routing course I'm teaching
at Columbia this semester.  Lectures 12-17 are on BGP.
