Présentation de l'éditeur :
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.

In this brilliant book, Professor Anderson explains to readers in rich, revelatory detail how the war helped shape a generation & made America the country that it is today. Throughout the first half of the 18th century, the balance of power in the northern colonies had been neutralized by the Iroquois Confederacy, which deftly played the British off against the French in order to survive & prosper. But soon colonial expansion & the Iroquois' own greed led to confrontation. The resulting war (triggered when a young & inexperienced George Washington, fighting under the British flag, tried to take control of the French-occupied Ohio River Forks) was the beginning of a military conflict that spread from the backwoods of Pennsylvania to Europe. Between 1755 & 1763, Great Britain stripped France & Spain of its colonies outside the Caribbean, gaining control of the eastern half of the United States. Ultimately, the war overturned the balance of power on 2 continents, undermined any semblance of recognized authority that Native American nations had over their own land, & ignited the "long fuse" of the American Revolution. Beautifully illustrated & exquisitely told, "The War that Made America" is the story of how the America we know emerged from a violent & transforming imperial struggle. It is a tale of force & persuasion, calculation & chance, hatred, tenderness, & courage: a story that no on knows better, or tells more vividly, than Fred Anderson. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: FRED ANDERSON, professor of history at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is the author of "Crucible of War", a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award & winner of the Francis Parkman Prize & the Mark Lynton History Prize in 2001. Most recently (w/ Andrew Clayton) he coauthored "The Dominion of War: Empire & Liberty in North America 1500-2000". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.
