Customer Reviews

A good beginning summary of the FIW...

This book has a very good summary of the French and Indian War. Almost every page is filled with etchings, drawings, or maps. The maps are mostly historical rather than computer generated maps, and it was a quick read, primarily because without the pictures it is only about 100 pages of text. The text goes into some of the main movements of the war as well as the actual events, and it is written in a lively fashion. A good pickup.

The Condensed History of The French and Indian War

Schwartz's book "The French and Indian War" is a good, general book about what in Europe was called the Seven Years War. It provides a good foundation of the time-line of engagements, major events of the conflict, and includes numerous historical maps from the period. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but I would of liked to have had a little more detail and depth on the actions of the combats. It was an easy read (about 1 -2 hours) and easily explains the major military events of this first major warfare between European powers (and colonist) that occurred on the continent that would become the United States of America.
