Reading, (actually listening to), Kevin Phillips' "1775". Interesting if you're into American/English history. He calls it one of three civil wars fought by English speaking peoples and the first World War. He loves to dispel the commonly accepted notions about The Revolution and the era. Interesting that the New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland colonies, largely, did not want to rebel.
One interesting factoid, one-fourth of all the British officers killed in this eight-year war died at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
