Forgotten War: The Struggle for North America

Three powers clashed in an epic struggle for North America two hundred and fifty years ago. The French and Indian War determined which great European empire would control the gateway to the West and the crucial highway of rivers and lakes connecting New York and Montreal. An international panel of experts digs beneath the familiar history and sheds new light on this long-ago conflict.
