It is Common Sense to read this book
I by no means like reading books and anything with vocabulary higher then that of 8th grade level scares me, yet interestingly this book is now one of my favorites! If you ever wonder the real reasons for why George Washington fought down the British, this books will let you in on it. All the facts are written in the perspective of that time period (1774) and it brings the main issue in focus. It is a short read (164 pages not including the afterword), and I really recommend it to anyone who likes history or a high curiosity.
