I’m really interested in the time period and I’m currently reading The Glorious Cause by Robert Middlekauf and though it’s part of the Oxford US History Series, I’m honestly kind of underwhelmed. Does anyone have any recommendations for other general histories of the American Revolution, starting from the end of the French and Indian War (to evaluate causes of the war) and going through to the end of the war? Both single and multi-volume histories are fine.
Thanks!
I just think that it’s overly focused on the military and political aspects of the period and neglecting the social aspects. I didn’t feel like there was much coverage on how people of the different colonies lived, their culture, the role of women etc..... That balance between the social and the military/political is something I really value in surveys of time periods.
