Read Jeff Shaara's "The Glorious Cause" if you haven't already done so. It presents an insightful view of the figures of that time -- Washington in particular.

I've read "Gods and Generals" and "The Killer Angels" which were both excellent, I'll have to get "The Glorious Cause." "John Adams" and "1776" by David McCullough are also great books.
