Overview

In the summer of 1754, deep in the wilderness of western Pennsylvania, a very young George Washington suffered his first military defeat, and a centuries-old feud between Great Britain and France was rekindled. The war that followed would be fought across virgin territories, from Nova Scotia to the forks of the Ohio River, and it would ultimately decide the fate of the entire North American continent--not just for Great Britain and France but also for the Spanish and Native American populations.

Noted historian Walter R. Borneman brings to life an epic struggle for a continent--what Samuel Eliot Morison called "truly the first world war"--and emphasizes how the seeds of discord sown in its aftermath would take root and blossom into the American Revolution.

  • This is a story that is very seldomly told.

    James W. - 5 years 5 months ago

    It was a very well written story, in the form of a historic description, easy to read, difficult to put down, and sorry to have finished. It was so well-written and received that I bought another book from the same author. This is a quite misunderstood series of events and should be a must read for history majors.

  • All this happened in western Pa and New York

    Bill R. - 6 years 5 months ago

    Good historical recount of events. Kept your interest waiting to see what happened next.
