Reviews

"William Fowler is a superb historian, and his Empires at War is absolutely first rate-- both a work of expert scholarship and a clear, insightful unfolding of one of the great dramas in history, the importance of which can hardly be overstated." --David McCullough, author of John Adams and Truman"A masterful account of the clash of two great empires. Ultimate victory by the British and their colonial allies ended in the expulsion of France from North America and brought the English vast new territories. It also brought them a mountain of debt, which they determined to reduce by levying taxes on the colonists-- laying the groundwork for the American Revolution. Mr. Fowler has told this immensely complex story with such clarity and knowledge that the reader is caught up in the danger and excitement of that critical time." --Richard Ketchum, author of Victory at Yorktown: The Campaign That Won the Revolution and Divided Loyalties: How the American Revolution Came to New York
