| The Seven Years' War (Essential Histories Series), Daniel Marston, 96 pages, Osprey, 2001. Part of Osprey's Essentail Histories Series, this volume attempts to give both a eyewitness view of the war and to explain the strategy followed by the major players in the war. As ever with Osprey, the book is well provided with maps and illustrations and is a good introduction to the Seven Years' War. |

| Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of the Empire in British North America, 1754 - 1766 , Fred Anderson, 880 pages, Faber and Faber 2001. The Seven Years' War had just as big an impact in North America as in Europe. Anderson concentrates on the North American aspects of the war, without ignoring the European background and has produced a work that makes clear that the Seven Years' War was more than just a prelude to the American war of Independence. |
