An excellent history of the American Revolution is “George Washington’s War” by Robert Leckie. It is a very enjoyable, easy read.

Other books by Leckie that I have read:
None Died in Vain - Civil War
Delivered From Evil - WWII
The Wars of America - All wars from the French & Indian to the Gulf War.

Forty years ago I read this one by Leckie. Even today I can still recall passages from this book...
