: : : Anyone know of some good non-fiction studies of the French and Indian Wars?

: : : Diana

: : Funny you should mention it, Diana -- I just came
: : across a brand new book called "Crucible of War"
: : by Fred Anderson, which is a complete history of 
: : the F & I War -- some 900 pages of it. I would
: : not suggest reading it whilst reclining, as it
: : would tend to crush your thorax, but it certainly
: : looks authoritative. In light of our many recent
: : discussions about stumpy little Mel's movie, there
: : is also a new book called "The Day The American
: : Revolution Began" by William H. Hallahan. It looks
: : good -- the jacket says it's filled with "surprising
: : new revelations about Lexington and Concord," i.e.,
: : that "the shot heard 'round the world" was not
: : fired accidentally, but deliberately in order to
: : foment the violence that sparked the war.

: : Doc M and Diana

: Doc M thanks for posting that. I too have this book, but hadn't had time to look up the author's name and it had slipped my mind. It is BIG, but looks to be a thorough delving into F&I War. Hope to start it soon.!!
