This book offers a wealth of fascinating context about the late colonial and Revolutionary era—perspectives often overlooked in traditional historical works. The portrayal of all sides feels notably fair and balanced. What stands out most is how it dismantles the simplistic divisions we often impose—between peoples, ethnicities, religions, and political factions—and replaces them with a richly nuanced picture of the complex, overlapping worlds of the English, French, and Indian peoples. I repeat if you are a fan of history, the 18th century, or George Washington, you will enjoy this book.
