Revolutionary War buffs: recommend a readable one-volume history?

Despite growing up among landmarks of the American Revolution and absorbing the lore as part of local history, I haven’t studied the war in any formal way since I was a schoolgirl. And I don’t want to study it now. But I would like recommendations for a good, readable, analytic-but-not-too-deep account of the events leading up to the Battle of Lexington and Concord and how they ended in the Declaration of Independence.

Can you recommend a narrative that
– is factual and fairly balanced
– does not have some political axe to grind, yet does interpret and explain
– does not dwell in popular myth but doesn’t spurn it either (it’s okay for us to have some heroes)
– is not too scholarly, dense, or argumentative, but also not shallow, superficial, and popularized
and
– is well written?

Something on a par with Barbara Tuchman’s A Distant Mirror, about France in the fourteenth century, would be just what I’m looking for. I know she did write a book about the Revolution, but I’m not sure it’s my best option on this subject.
