Hi Mike -

After reading "Plenty of Blame to Go Around" by Wittenberg & Petruzzi, 
may I suggest: "Protecting the Flanks: The Battles for Brinkerhoff's 
Ridge and East Cavalry Field" by Wittenberg - it is a great read in and 
of itself, but it also fits in well as a successor to the first book. 
And - perhaps most importantly - provides a lot of detail concerning the 
important scrape for Brinkerhoff's ridge on the 2nd day. (Plus: it has a 
driving tour included as a bonus.)

Regards,
Alan
