520    In the summer of 1754, deep in the wilderness of western 
       Pennsylvania, a very young George Washington suffered his 
       first military defeat, and a centuries-old feud between 
       Great Britain and France was rekindled. The war that 
       followed, which one historian called truly the first world
       war, would decide the fate of the entire North American 
       continent--not just between Great Britain and France, but 
       for the Spanish and the Native Americans as well. Fought 
       across virgin wilderness, from Nova Scotia to the forks of
       the Ohio River, the French and Indian War is best 
       remembered for dogged frontier campaigns and the momentous
       battle of Quebec on the Plains of Abraham--and the seeds 
       of discord sown in its aftermath would give root to the 
       American Revolution. We encounter George Washington, 
       Benjamin Franklin, William Pitt, William Shirley, Edward 
       Braddock, Wolfe and Montcalm, and Major Robert Rogers, a 
       legend misunderstood.--From publisher description.
