American Revolution

I chose the American Revolution. It might be harder to find 'original' POV's, since so many of the major players are long deceased and their writings gone, but I think I found a wide range of viewpoints in both non-fiction and fiction.

Schnazer, Rosalyn. George vs. George: The American Revolution As Seen from Both Sides. New York; National Geographic, 2004. (Although this is in a picture book/comic book format, and meant for younger readers, I included it because of the unique title and description. It is an ALA Notable book as well, and I think the title alone will pique the interest of young adults and make this subject a little more interesting!)
