The War That Made America: A Short History of the French and Indian War
by Fred Anderson, Simon Vance (Goodreads Author)
by Fred Anderson, Simon Vance (Goodreads Author)
While not the best, nor the most exciting history reading, the War that Made America does shed light on an overlooked period of American History.
The book, written as a companion to the PBS documentary, can really be seen as an abridgment of Anderson's Crucible of War. This book was simpler and easier to understand. Although short, it highlights the major movements of the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) and helps Americans to understand the rich history that puts the American Revolution in context.
While reading this book, you may want to consider watching the documentary and checking out the website: www.thewarthatmadeamerica.org and learn more about this important chapter in American history.
