Is there a book on the American Revolutionary War written from a Loyalist perspective? Not necessarily detailing how the "other side" fought during the war itself, but a thorough argument against the revolution in general.

Boomer The Cannon posted:I've trying to read a biography of each US President, and rather than start at the beginning I picked up mid-20th Century (Truman by McCullough, Eisenhower In War and Peace by Smith, An Unfinished Life by Dallek, LBJ by Dallek and The Arrogance of Power by Summers). Funnily enough, I just started this exact same project. In researching I found this guy's blog to be very helpful and thorough, as well as him seeming like a pretty trustworthy critic. He's not quite up to the era you need, though.

Where can I learn as much detail about life in the Antebellum South as possible? I don't mind academic or dry.

I’m sure this is a common question, but what are some good books for background reading to Shakespeare’s history plays? For someone who knows nothing about the history other than how it is presented in those plays.

Lewd Mangabey posted:Shakespeare's Kings by John Julius Norwich is basically that book. It's not super in depth, but it's an easy to read overview for people who don't know much English history. Not a bad first stop to make you decide if you want to read more about particular periods. Thanks, this is probably where I should start. I was referring to the English history plays specifically, and I’ve read most of them before, but wanted to revisit them with some kind of real knowledge of the period.
