After watching the DVD box sets of Deadwood and Boardwalk Empire (and thoroughly enjoying them) I realised my grasp on American history was seriously lacking so started a thread asking for book recommendations relating to the earliest settlers of the continent.
Folks were most helpful in their suggestions and I bought American Colonies: The Settling Of North America by Alan Taylor (almost finished this one), Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick (just started this one) and The Barbarous Years by Bernard Bailyn.
What I am seeking out now are a couple of books relating to the American Revolution. I see a few reviewed on Amazon but thought I would ask the community here if they have any suggestions, preferably ones where I can seek out reviews.
Also I will at some point be wanting to buff up on the Civil War so any suggestions on that topic would also be very welcome.
Regards,
Jay.
