[Roger Burk]

Strictly for military nerds, but great for what it is. Not only does it cover Continental and British troops, but is also gives proportionate coverage to German, French, and Loyalist units. The redcoats did not always wear red coats--it varied by regiment, and some wore green, brown, or blue coats. Battles must have been colorful sights.

[Fredrick Danysh]

Uniforms varied during the American Revolution and in fact in some cases did not exist. Describes the uniforms that historians know about.
