The War That Made America by Fred Anderson
The globe's first true world war comes vividly to life in this "rich, cautionary tale" (The New York Times Book Review)The French and Indian War -the North American phase of a far larger conflagration, the Seven Years' War-remains one of the most important, and yet misunderstood, episodes in American history. Fred Anderson takes readers on a remarkable journey through the vast conflict that, between 1755 and 1763, destroyed the French Empire in North America, overturned the balance of power on two continents, undermined the ability of Indian nations to determine their destinies, and lit the "long fuse" of the American Revolution. Beautifully illustrated and recounted by an expert storyteller, The War That Made America is required reading for anyone interested in the ways in which war has shaped the history of America and its peoples.
Professor of history at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Fred Anderson Crucible of War: The Seven Years War and the Destiny of Empire in British North America, 1754-1766, and A People's Army: Massachusetts Soldiers and the Society in the Seven Years' War are two of his award-winning books. He currently resides in Boulder, Colorado. 250th Anniversary of the French and Indian War, Inc. is a collection of the most important places involved with the French and Indian War.
