A must read by a great historian: Paul Reveres Ride by David Hackett Fischer.
Time for a re-read of both books.
I also recommend "The Long Fuse" by Don Cook which is the American Revolution written from the British point of view. Imagine if the best and brightest of the United States left to start a new civilization somewhere else. Well, that is exactly what happened to England and it was very painful to them.
Lot of great books in my library about that period of time.
