David McCullough’s 1776 is not bad, but ends in 1776, with the Battle of Trenton. It’s starts with the Siege of Boston (Bunker Hill was in 1775), the British evacuation, the Battle of Long Island (/Brooklyn), and the various minor battles, including White Plains, leading up to Trenton. It is most readable. McCullough is a superb author, the book will keep your attention. I have a copy I an not using if your library is closed or unavailable, and you don’t want to pay Amazon.

You beat me to it on “1776”. Lol I think it’s a fascinating book.
