Negative Positive
Title: A very weak History Book
Review: As one who knows little about the period the author covers I was immediately impressed with how obvious the deficiencies of the novel were. This is, at best, a junior level treatise of the "French and Indian war." The Iroquois and other native American groups are referred to only to illuminate the character of the French and English generals, description of the actual battles leave one with no impression whatsoever as to how they were fought or won, and long diversions into anecdotes about the founding father's actions serve to distract the reader from the events they are actually supposed to be taking part in. Finally it is obvious that the writer has done little or no original research to justify his having attempted to write a book aimed at adults, much less students of history. A very disappointing read.
