Which came first? Probably both feeding into each other. It left me with some confusion as to whether social change caused the Revolution, or whether it was the other way around. In giving the social viewpoint of Britain and its Thirteen Colonies, it hops about quite a bit with quotes from a wide variety of people. The typeface in the paperback often led to my trying to find my place on the page. It is academic, rather than a popularized history. The book will be a difficult read for some. It's good at giving a good picture of colonial society and its change to something quite different.
Gordon Wood's "The Radicalism of the American Revolution" was highly touted in my search for good histories to read, so I gave it a read.
