#Histodons! Any reading recommendations for the American War of Independence? Since beach season doesn't seem to be coming, my current holiday plan is to just jump into a sea of books instead.

McGuires books on the Philadelphia Campaign are excellent. If you want detailed accounts of actions in the South then Babit's book on Cowpens is excellent (a Devil of a Whipping) and his Long Bloody and Obstinate as well. A good overview from a British viewpoint have a looks at Fusiliers by Mark Urban.

And I've a soft spot for Roger Lamb's journal and the Robert Graves novels based on it.
