World of War explores the violent conflicts of the United States--on land, at sea, and in the air --with meticulous scholarship, thought-provoking analysis, and vivid prose.

For Britain, the last French and Indian War of 1754-1760 dwarfed all earlier conflicts. From a wider historical perspective, this text studies the struggle for North America in the previous two centuries, such as the French-British conflict and the role of the Amerindians and other European powers.

During 1763 and 1764, a loose coalition of Native American tribes ranging from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River and from the Ohio Valley to the Great Lakes revolted against the oppression and neglect of their newly installed British masters.

By 1756 the wilderness war for control of North America that erupted two years earlier between France and England had expanded into a global struggle among all of Europe's Great Powers.
