Crucible of war : the Seven Years' War and the fate of empire in British North America, 1754-1766
Fred Anderson (Author)
Demonstrating that the decisive "Seven Years' War" changed the balance of power between the British and French in North America, the author argues that this conflict destroyed the delicate balance of power that gave Native people a voice in the affairs of the continent while creating an "American generation."
