Found another good one: Lexington and Concord: The Battle Heard Round the World by George c. Daughan.
https://www.amazon.com/Lexington-Concord-Battle-Heard-Round/dp/0393245748?hvadid=78202819156976&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=lexington+and+concord&qid=1539041762&s=Books&sr=1-1&tag=mh0b-20&ref=sr_1_1

A great telling of our story with impressive detail.  Newly released in April of this year.  Very Readable and enjoyable.
