I want to start by one of the best books on the revolution is a book called the men who lost america. In this book, it is argued that british generals are often described as incompetent or indecisive, but the author argues that they were smart competitive men accomplished professionals, military professionals, and the reason why they failed is not due to psychotic character fails, but because they faced insurmountable obstacles in trying to fight a war in america.
