So, I just finished reading The Boston Massacre by Hiller Zobel (which I think was recommended by someone on AskHistorians). I thought it was a really great and detailed examination of attitudes and events in colonial Boston. Is there any book that will take me the rest of the way from around 1770 up through the revolutionary war?
I would suggest The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763–1789 by Robert Middlekauff and The Rising Glory of America by Gordon Wood
