About this audiobook
How did the French and Indian War change the world and mold history?
Most people have heard about the French and Indian War, but you will find that most history classes have “forgotten” to explore some of the most interesting and important facets of this conflict. Its little-told stories and often underrated importance in world history have begun to be buried over the centuries. Was this epic struggle simply another war among many others in history?
Many of the incredible details, stories of legendary heroism, and actual world-changing events have not been given their moment to shine. The French and Indian War was not only about armed battles. It was also an extraordinary story of two empires with long-standing grudges that spilled over into the New World. This clash of titan-like powers shaped the fates of millions of people, numerous tribes, and multiple nations.
Even if you are not a military history “buff,” you will be absorbed in the captivating and shocking aspects of this incredible story, such as:
- Which well-known political leader in history inadvertently began the war in North America
- Which empires battled for control of North America and how beaver pelts caused tensions to boil over
- Why the native tribes formed alliances with those encroaching on their land and how it changed the course of their future forever
- Relationships with their new “neighbors”
- The man who founded the US Army Rangers and how he became an Adirondack legend
- The near-mythical “Black Watch”
