    THE COMING OF THE REVOLUTION...(From dust jacket flaps): In this book a pre-eminent American authority on the British Empire of the eighteenth century re-examines the causes of the war for independence in the light of new material and from new points of view.  Professor Gipson traces the irritants and counter-irritants that plagued British-American relations between the Peace of Paris and the calling of the Continental Congress in 1774.  He sees this period as one of "political maneuver"---a time when statesmanship failed to reconcile the enlarged imperial responsbilities of the British government with the emerging nationalist aspirations of the American people.  Drawing upon a wealth of source material, much of it unfamiliar to earlier generations of historians, Professor Gipson analyzes with candor and objectivity the complex issues which led to the outbreak of the Revolution.  This book, complete in itself, is one of a number to appear under the general title The New American Nation Series.
