Is there a good book of history on this? I read a bit about it on the Barton Biggs' book Hedgehogging, but there were only two chapters. I feel like Process Driven Trading Partners must have some great stories that can fill multiple books.

"The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution" discusses the lineage of Shaw, Tartaglia, and his predecessors briefly. I think some more academic texts on Pairs Trading and Stat Arb will mention the PDT team as well.

The only other book that covers this as far as I know is The Quants by Patterson.

Ed Thorp talks about it a little.

APT, not PDT. PDT also began as part of Morgan Stanley, but it didn't come along until much later.

I don't know of any book.
