Does anyone have any recommendations for books about the Revolutionary War told from the British perspective? I’m not looking for British apologetics, but rather something that examines the debates in Parliament and among the king’s advisors about the war. Also something that examines why the British continued the war after losing an army at Saratoga, but agreed to peace after a similar loss at Yorktown.

The War for America, 1775-1783 by Piers Mackesy. The American Revolution as part of a world war between Britain and France.

While you're on the subject, The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution by Bernard Bailyn. Based in part on the political pamphlets from then.
