<< What books does the GDG membership recommend for
the advanced Civil War historian with a focus on
the Gettysburg Campaign?  I am sure I am not the
only one who would value input on this point.  >>

Not strictly focused on Gettysburg, but I highly recommend Edwin Fishel's 
"The Secret War for the Union", as well as "Sykes' Regular Infantry 
Division, 1861-1864", by Timothy Reese.  Also, "The Union Generals Speak", 
by Bill Hyde, on the JCCW hearings on the battle.  Just reading Sickles's 
testimony is enough to make you want to rise up out of your seat and 
throttle the man!
