American Revolution

I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction. I find there is a paucity of lists for nonfiction. The American Revolution is a subject I was, for a good while, obsessed with. These are the books I have found excellent in their own way. I did cheat a bit and include a few historical fiction novels set during the Revolution.
