For those who are looking for well-documented, well-written and insightful reading on the American Revolution, I recommend "The Day the American Revolution Began: 19 April 1775" about the battle of Lexington and Concord and "The Day the Revolution Ended: 19 October 1781" about the battle of Yorktown, both by William H. Hallahan and available from www.amazon.com.
The factual events and personalities swirling around both of these crucial engagements in the struggle of the American colonies to throw off the tyrannical yoke of King George III and his agents and forces in North America are skillfully woven into a truly enjoyable, "can't put it down" recounting of the painful birth of the United States of America. History has never been so clear and exciting!
