The French and Indian War: A Captivating Guide to the North American Conflict between Great Britain and France along with Its Impact on the History of ... and the Seven Years’ War
How did the French and Indian War change the world and mold history?
Most people have heard about the French and Indian War, but you will find that most history classes have “forgotten” to explore some of the most interesting and important facets of this conflict. Its little-told stories and often underrated importance in world history have begun to be buried over the centuries. Was this epic struggle simply another war among many others in history?
Many of the incredible details, stories of legendary heroism, and actual world-changing events have not been given their moment to shine. The French and Indian War was not only about armed battles. It was also an extraordinary story of two empires with long-standing grudges that spilled over into the New World. This clash of titan-like powers shaped the fates of millions of people, numerous tribes, and multiple nations.
Even if you are not a military history “buff,” you will be absorbed in the captivating and shocking aspects of this incredible story, such well-known political leader in history inadvertently began the war in North AmericaWhich empires battled for control of North America and how beaver pelts caused tensions to boil overWhy the native tribes formed alliances with those encroaching on their land and how it changed the course of their future foreverThe fascinating cultural differences between the Europeans and the Native Americans and how they viewed war, peace, and relationships with their new “neighbors”The man who founded the US Army Rangers and how he became an Adirondack legendThe near-mythical “Black Watch”How the war played in a much larger global struggle between imperial powersHow this war created an atmosphere ripe for one of history’s most famous revolutionsAnd how the seeds were sown for new nations to emerge

Washington was not so Perfect.
I love these Captivating History books, short, sweet and full of facts.
This one was thoroughly enjoyable. I knew nothing about this 7 year war and was glad to read up on it. It seems like George Washington was not as perfect as history books would tell. The English didn't seem to want to evict the French, and it seemed that their efforts were not very impressive.
I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it very much

Chronologically following the events of the war, this title lightly touches on the highlights of battles and the escalation of the entire war. It includes probably political and cultural influences on the three key players: England, France, and the various indigenous nations. The recruitment, interplay, and decisions of this third population offered new insight, to me, regarding their roles in victories and defeats by actions and inactions.
The author spends a significant portion of each chapter integrating important interactions of the "Indian" groups, as well as, the actions of key figures who play roles in events after the war, like George Washington and George Rogers Clark. Their experiences in this war strong influenced their personalities and actions for years to come.
I wish I could rate it 3 1/2 *s because the style was breezy and engaging without bogging down in minutia. Painting broad pictures allowing the reader a sense of the war while identifying signposts for further investigation if the reader wants more details.

Much better than a textbook but still a lot of facts. However, it's told in story form so it kept my attention much easier. I did get lost sometimes because of all the different people. It pulled me in several times because of all the action and also the stupidity of both sides at times. Overall, well done, informative, and worth the read!

British. French, and Native American Conflict
I enjoyed a war in which British and French soldiers relied on savage Indian allies to win key land fort battles. Their goals greatly conflicted with one another.
