I've been on a war kick lately. Is 1776 by David McCollough a solid choice on the American Revolutionary War? I prefer something as realistic and factual as possible, some honest criticism of America wouldn't hurt, and I want to steer clear of propaganda and liberal tropes. I guess I'm just a little suspicious of the book's popularity is all. (I also happen to watching the HBO series John Adams based on the same author and I find it mostly good)

this is a long shot, but is anyone aware of a good book (very preferably written within the last few years) that analyzes demographic change in America and generational differences? a couple of examples that I almost bought: Philip Bump - The Aftershock: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America Jean Twenge - Generations those two books almost sound perfect but Bump's book doesn't have stellar reviews and Twenge wrote a book about millennials called 'The Narcissism Epidemic'. I worry about any author that writes so sensationally with an agenda. I prefer something bordering on academic (but not quite). I might buy Bump's book and simply hope a bunch of dummies are mad at it.
