About this product

Product Information

Apart from The Last of the Mohicans, most Americans know little of the French and Indian War—also known as the Seven Years’ War—and yet it remains one of the most fascinating periods in our history. In January 2006, PBS will air The War That Made America, a four-part documentary about this epic conflict. Fred Anderson, the award-winning and critically acclaimed historian, has written the official tie-in to this exciting television event.In The War That Made America, Anderson deftly shows how the expansion of the British colonies into French territory in the 1750s and the ongoing Native American struggle for survival would erupt into seven years of bloodshed and unrest spreading from the backwoods of Pennsylvania to the high courts of Europe, eventually overturning the balance of power on two continents and laying the groundwork for the American Revolution. Beautifully illustrated, richly detailed, and utterly compelling, this is the story of how America as we know it today emerged from a series of fractured colonies and warring tribes into a nation ripe for independence—and nobody tells this story better than Fred Anderson.

  • The French and Indian War

    I have one of the largest collections of literature on the French and Indian War in the US, both fiction and non-fiction. I've read all of Professor Anderson's books and thought "The War That Made America" would be a scaled-down version of "Crucible of War" with some street-level prose. It's not. Moreover, I can't even find much in common with the movie version of the same name. This is a breakthrough approach to the Seven Years War - far above the blood and gore of Professor Parkman, well beyond the "bad White Man" of Steele and Jennings. By shaking off the 19th century romanticism and the 20th century hand-wringing, "The War That Made America" is a completely new perspective. Yes, there's plenty of detail, but you can't help but come to a completely different view of the "realities on ...

  • Great Book about the French and Indian War

    This is a great companion book for the PBS Video Series on the French and Indian War. It fully covers the French and Indian War and goes into deep detail on each and every battle. I haven't finished it yet, but I have reached the part about the fall of Quebec. Anyone wanting to know more about the French and Indian War should read this book and watch PBS's video series on the French and Indian War. Overall, a Fantastic piece of literature! A+++++++

  • A Great Short History of the French & Indian War
