Help me learn new things in 2018 – The Revolutionary War! (What should I read?)

I’m going to spend April learning about the history of The Revolutionary War. You’ve already given me some great ideas. I want to post them here, so you can help me prioritize what to read. If you think I’m missing something, please tell me. I’m opening comments, or you can tweet me.

  1. Whirlwind: The American Revolution and the War That Won It by John Ferling
  2. John Adams by David McCullough
  3. 1776 by David McCullough
  4. American Revolutions: a Continental History by Alan Taylor
  5. American Colonies: The Settling of North America by Alan Taylor
  6. Angel in the Whirlwind: The Triumph of the American Revolution by Benson Bobrick

What do you all think? Any thoughts on the order?
