Klappentext

The final volume in Michael G. Laramie's acclaimed histories of the European struggle for North America that set the stage for the French and Indian War, King George's War and the Thirty-Year Peace: The Third Contest for North America, 1714-1748, takes the reader along with the combatants into the field and waterways, including Native American, French, Spanish, Provincial, and British. Based on a rich variety of primary sources and fully illustrated with original maps, this volume joins the author's King William's War and Queen Anne's War as the modern history of these lesser-known--but enormously important--conflicts that shaped the political story of North America.
