Between Two Worlds: How the English Became Americans by Malcolm Gaskill
2.0
Ok starting point. Throws in too many names at once without explanation, which makes it more difficult to follow any kind of narrative.
As a postgrad student in the American colonies, I would say I have read better. It's not the most comprehensive, leaves out a lot of significant debates, does not frame the role of Native Americans as well as I would have hoped and overall it is quite obvious that it is written by a historian of Early Modern England who has less experience in writing colonial history.
