　　In this vivid and compelling narrative, the Seven Years'

War–long seen as a mere backdrop to the American Revolution–takes

on a whole new significance. Relating the history of the war as it

developed, Anderson shows how the complex array of forces brought

into conflict helped both to create Britain’s empire and to sow the

seeds of its eventual dissolution.

Beginning with a skirmish in the Pennsylvania backcountry

involving an inexperienced George Washington, the Iroquois chief

Tanaghrisson, and the ill-fated French emissary Jumonville,

Anderson reveals a chain of events that would lead to world

conflagration. Weaving together the military, economic, and

political motives of the participants with unforgettable portraits

of Washington, William Pitt, Montcalm, and many others, Anderson

brings a fresh perspective to one of America’s most important wars,

demonstrating how the forces unleashed there would irrevocably

change the politics of empire in North America.
