Patriots: The Men Who Started the American Revolution   A. J. Langguth
Excellent narrative history of the origins and progress of the American Revolution through the treaty of Paris in 1783. While there must be gaps in a book only a little over 600 pages that covers such a complicated subject, there is a lot of good information. Very well written in a clean, simple style. For me, it was like reading an engrossing novel. Very useful, really liked it.
