I am also no expert on the British take on the Revolutionary war. All of my observations are derived from "Fusiliers" by Mark Urban, a recent military history on the British Army in the Revolution written by a British historian with (obviously) a British view point. I have seen some criticisms that his book was too heavily biased in favour of the British, but I found it a refreshing new look at this entire period.

One of the parts that fascinates me the most I knew nothing about until I read all those biographies a couple years ago. The treaty of 1783 - all the wrangling among the US delegates, the concessions made on both sides and how they led to political agruments between the two nations years later. Lots of fun stuff.
