"Crucible of War" by Fred Anderson. This is the tale of the Seven Years War- what we Americans call the French and Indian War- and it was this war that set in motion the American Revolution. The Seven Year's War was a global war fought by the French and the British, with a major role played by some remarkably sophisticated American Indians, working the French and the British against each other. This global war was ignited by a chance encounter on a remote frontier, when some natives commanded by a British colonial officer massacred a French patrol. The British colonial officer who lost control of his native warriors was a very young George Washington.
