I am  wondering what secondary work GDG contributors prefer on the PPT
Assault,  either a general study or one specifically describing an
outfit's  actions.

For a general study, I always prefer Stewart's book.  It  still seems to
be the most judicious and compelling  narrative.


 
Even though Stewart's book cannot benefit from the past few decades' of  
microhistories concerned with the PPT  Assault, I do think it has not yet  been 
equaled as a general study.  Hess's book on the Charge somehow doesn't  quite 
make it.  I like Jeff Wert's book on Day Three, but its scope is  broader than 
just the PPT event.  And Mike Priest's book is too fragmented  to fully satisfy 
me.
