An excellent, concise guide that reflects deep knowledge of the nature of British politics as well as the dynamics of British policy, as well as the pressures in the American colonies that led to a drive for independence. The many valuable features include the global contextualization of the subsequent war. Thoroughly recommended.

This is a masterfully woven narrative account that not only provides its readers with a fresh survey of the origins, progress and success of the American Revolution, setting it in a broader context than many accounts, but which provides an approachable account of the current points of agreement and contention among scholars, and which guides its readers through the wealth of information and range of interpretations available to twenty-first century researchers. There is plenty here to interest any level of reader, no matter how well they know the subject, and those researching the Revolution for the first time should start here.
