American Insurgents American Patriots
by T.H. Breen. Covers War of Independence times from more of a "people" perspective rather than a few key historic figures, and that there must be one (insurgent) before there is the other (patriot). Also goes into what folks did in terms of local measures/actions against Crown supporters leading up to & through Lexington-Concord, as well as what their tipping point was, i.e., when do things become "intolerable" as relates to activities of the Crown.
