I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct subreddit for this, but can anyone recommend a good reading on the American Revolution. I would like it to be thorough and cover things like the ideological underpinnings of the war in addition to the key parts of the war (major battles, turning points, etc.). Any recommendations would be appreciated, thank you.
Gordon Woods "Radicalism of the American Revolution" is by far the best book on the ideological underpinnings of the war.
David McCulloughs "1776" deals more with the military side but as you may have guessed it only covers events in the year 1776.
The Glorious Cause - Robert Middlekauff
The first in the Oxford histories of the US. Be warned though, its a tome.
