American Revolution books - Brit POV

Does anyone have any recommendations for books about the American Revolution from the British point of view? Thanks in advance.

From my own library, the following books mention it, but are not exclusively dedicated to it:

The Rise and Fall of the British Empire
A Shortened History of England

The authors of both books I listed are Brits.

This one is on my wish list:

The Oxford History of the British Empire: Volume II: The Eighteenth Century

The lone reviewer on Amazon says this about it:

"The book studies not only chronologically but geographically the development of empire. While there are some general chapters on trade, economies, and population shifts it really is an area study focus. From Canada and the United States, to the Caribbean to the Orient the areas are covered in detail and looked at in a variety of ways. Each of these areas is given four to five chapters and looked at from the macro perspective of the government down to the micro perspective of the people living there and their day to day interactions be they with natives or with colonial traders."

From what I could find on Amazon(US version), there didn't appear to be a ton of books on the subject.

Redcoats and Rebels is a book I have enjoyed reading. It shows the problems the British had fighting a long range war against a hostile population. If the British generals had spent as much time fighting the Americans as they did quarreling with each other they would have had a better chance. I also enjoyed Fusiliers:The Saga of a British Redcoat Regiment in the American Revolution. It follows one regiment from the beginning to the end of the war. There is a very good analysis of the tactics developed by the British to combat the American style of fighting.

Check the Bibliographical Note in Robert Middlekauff's The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 (revised and expanded edition, 2005). You'll find references to a number of works that may answer your needs, including studies of British social, economic and political policies in the run-up to the revolution; British government handling of the war; the role and importance of loyalists; the plight of the Indians caught between the warring Europeans; and British military strategy and tactics in the war.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Theodore Draper's A Struggle for Power contains a sympathetic view of the quandry the British found themselves in. The phrase "no good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind.

Thanks for the recommendations.

#2. You're right the Oxford History is not really what I'm looking for, but it looks interesting none the less. The library has The Rise and Fall so I'll take a look at that.

#3. The library also has Redcoats and Rebels which looks like what I'm looking for.

#4 & 5. I'm lucking out because the library has both Middlekauff's and Draper's books.

Eliga Gould's Persistence of Empire is new, and is a nice look at the American Revolution from the British "people's" perspective. Worth a look.
