The current one depicting George Washington with a hangover. May 11 & 18.
What I find interesting about the issue are the several mutual themes running through the articles. Jill Lepore, Daniel Immerwahr, and Sebastian Smee* touch on some of the same interesting points that Ken Brown's PBS series did; mainly that the Revolutionary War was a multifaceted event, participated in and opposed by Indigenous people, the French, the Spanish, Loyalists, the disenfranchised, etc.
Also, the intriguing point that the British somewhat let the Colonies go because their other New World colonies, i.e. Jamaica and Canada, were more important. One of the authors puts forth the idea that Britain basically won the war. It's always a good idea to get outside your frame of reference and look at things the way other spectators do.
*Smee wasn't talking about the Revolutionary War per se, but he did bring up some of those points. He was writing about Fredric Church, the American landscape painter.
