Non-American here. Need some /lit/ approved history book recommendation on the American revolution. Nothing on the recommendation wiki.
Cheers

Oxford, I guess.
Charlie Beard is old, and covers more than just the Revolution, but he's really good.

nice trips.
Try Gordon Wood, "The American Revolution". It is a short, sweet little book.
Also actually read our Declaration for context.
What cunt you from?

Just a bunch of bourgeoisie cunts that were profiting from smuggling tea and didn't want to stop that so they had a bunch of people fight for an independence they didn't need so they could be the true aristocracy and in complete control.

And I personally directly benefitted from all this, which is the highest criterion of what is good or bad. So why are you still playing like what these old people did is bad, in the long view of history, since it led to my personal comfy state today? Don't you know that history begins and ends with me?

Still butthurt after 250 years.

Looks like you're an American trying to get people to think anyone gives a shit about America.
Not history, but read the major works by Thomas Paine

Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth.
