"Custer's Last Stand: The Anatomy of an American Myth" by Brian W. Dippie.
As the title suggests, it's an examination of the myth and its portrayal rather than the battle itself. Well worth reading, though: very entertainingly written, and the bibliography, endnotes and appendices are almost as valuable as the text. Nice book!
