Shots Heard Round The World by John Ferling
A concise narrative history that reconstructs the events of April 19, 1775, showing how escalating tensions between colonial militias and British regulars—through miscommunication, local organization, and political miscalculation—sparked the confrontations at Lexington and Concord; the book follows the decisions of imperial officers and colonial leaders, the roles of ordinary farmers and militia, and the cascading consequences that turned a routine enforcement action into the opening battles that unleashed the wider American Revolution.
