Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Angel in the Whirlwind by Benson Bobrick. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Bobrick offers a broad, chronological telling of the American Revolution from tax protests through the Declaration and eventual victory, written in a narrative-first style that favors vivid episodes and memorable scenes. What works best is a continuous, storylike account that helps you follow motives, decisions, and battles as a connected drama. The main limitation is a reliance on anecdote and authorial narrative rather than detailed engagement with recent scholarship, which may feel dated or thin if you want deep historiographical argumentation.”
