I come here again for suggestions. DS8 is currently interested in the American Revolutionary War. He has gone through the kiddie stuff which gives high level of the fact it happened. I am looking for something which discusses the strategies of the various battles, the politics and culture in both America and England at the time just prior to the war/at the beginning of the war/and during the war, England's views versus the Colonist views, etc. He has studied the different fighting styles a bit and is quite intrigued as to how the English style actually had any success. He has also studied the financial situation a little bit, which has been of interest. He knows England was in a lot of debt as a result of fighting the French. He also knows there was a monarchy change in this time period as well. Financial/commerce consequences would be an added bonus.
Of course, all this has to be relatively G rated. Nothing such as how prisoners were treated or anything gory with pictures of wounded with dead bodies lying nearby. He is learning about different treatments for individuals of various economic status. He does not like it, but seems to tolerate that a bit better other types of classification consequences.
Thank you so much for your suggestions.
