Encyclopedia of the American Revolution by Mark Mayo Boatner

Absolutely superb--one of the finest reference works on American history ever produced. Judicious and thorough, it also manages a difficult feat of compression, keeping the entries informative without being overwhelming. Indispensable and a must for any student of the American Revolution.
