I’ve been scrolling through Reddit’s search function in this sub about the American revolution, but most things with answers and sources are rather specific questions. They’ve helped deepens my understanding but leave me wanting more.

I can find plenty of collections of papers and essays published during that time, but I cannot find any guidance on which books are actually suitable for learning about the time period and which are hogwash.

I also feel that “comprehensive” books would probably be in contradiction to my goals, as I don’t want to be skipping details no matter how minor or insignificant they may seem. Sometimes the smallest brushstrokes make the picture more important.

If this isn’t the right sub for this question please let me know.
