I’ve just finished a book I can recommend. It’s _Band of Giants: The Amateur Soldiers Who Won America’s Independence_, by Jack Kelly. In general a good history of the AWI, but with more attention paid to the people involved. He discusses the back story, strengths and weaknesses of the men with whom we are familiar, as well as the good and bad baggage they brought to the task. I've read quite a bit about those men, but he personalized them nicely, told me a lot of little details of their lives I had never known.
Kelly is easy to read, and even though I was fairly familiar with the story, knew how it ended, I got caught up in the book and looked forward to reading the next bit.
