In book news…

Rick Atkinson, the Pulitzer Prize-winner best known for his work on WWII, is writing a trilogy on the American Revolution.

The Siege of Vicksburg is the subject of Jeff Shaara’s newest novel.

Finally, a new book on Dunmore’s War is hitting the shelves in July.  I’ve really been looking forward to this one; the publication date apparently got pushed back, so I’m glad it’s coming to the stores soon.

Rev War books are headed your way

Some new and upcoming titles I find worthy of note:

• A biography of George Rogers Clark.  It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a full Clark bio, so this is good news.
• A new collection of essays on Nathanael Greene’s campaigns in the South
• An examination of the men who accompanied Benedict Arnold to Quebec…
• …and a book about the woman who helped him turn traitor
• What did Burgoyne’s surrender do?  Maybe not all that much.
• Collection of firsthand Redcoat accounts
• A look at the Pennsylvania Associators
• Finally, it’s not the Rev War, but it’s pretty darn close—a history of Dunmore’s War.

I’m going to be completely broke by the end of the year.
