An exceptionally accessible history.

This is no huge exhaustive history, but it is probably the best short (450 pps.) account of the American Revolution I've seen. It's accessible and commonsensical, written in a "you are there" style that puts each incident and character into perspective. It has nothing new for the serious scholar, but it's ideal for someone who still has a lot to learn about the Revolution.
