On Dacian Wars
"Trajan's Column and Dacian Wars" by Lino Rossi is very useful
There's a good chapter on the subject on "Trajan: Optimus Princeps" by Bennett. Very good book by the way.
Very few literary sources. Dio and almost nothing else.
I highly recommend this one: SIMON STEFAN, A. (2005). Les guerres daciques de Domitien et de Trajan. Architecture militaire, topographie, images et historie. Roma.
The best book on the subject by far. No english translation I'm afraid.
Other options:
WILKES, J.J. (1983). “Romans, Dacians and Sarmatians”. Rome and Her Northern Provinces. Gloucester.
DIACONESCU, A. (1997). "Dacia under Trajan. Some observations on Roman tactics and strategry". Acta Musei Napocensis.
Interesting chapter aswell on Goldsworthy's "In the Name of Rome"
