Try the book "A course in Number Theory and Cryptography" by Koblitz. It covers some elementary number theory and field theory at the beginning. It's supposed to be a review, but if you're okay with struggling a bit, you can make it through it. If you don't do that you're gonna have to find a book on elementary number theory, another on abstract algebra, and read the chapters on groups, rings, fields. That should get you a start, I also recommend visiting the cryptography thread on lainchan.

You can understand RSA and some others at a reasonably deep level after reading most books on elementary number theory (though I wouldn't recommend spinning your own implementation, because some specialist knowledge on generating suitable primes is still required). Some books on elementary number theory even include a discussion of RSA as an application.

You won't understand something like AES or elliptic-curve crypto after reading such a book, though.
