In his two volumes on the Revolution, Bernhard Knollenberg provides a basic narrative of events with extensive citations to the sources and a thorough discussion of the historiography.

He believed that the British ministries were responsible for the crumbling of the empire and that the Americans represented the cause of liberty.
