Dee Brown's book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is a useful and very well known study of the events of that time, but importantly it describes all the other events leading up to it. It sets Wounded Knee in the context of all the other conflicts between white Americans and the native populations.
Heather Cox Richardson has recently written "Wounded Knee", which concentrates mainly on the massacre itself and on the political situation in Washington DC that set the scene for the massacre.
