Welcome to America

The John Adams miniseries got me interested in the early history of these United States, so I asked for some book recommendations. Having gone through Barnard Baillyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, Gordon Wood's The Creation of the American Republic, and Don Cook's The Long Fuse I can now happily report that I understand this country perfectly. All are recommended for those interested in the subject, but obviously you won't have time to read any of them because you'll be busy with Heads in the Sand.
