While it could drone on from time to time, Braddock’s Defeat expertly lays out the causes, effects, and minutiae of the most significant Indian victory over European forces in colonial American history. Good narration as well.

Very well researched and very well written. This is as detailed an account of Braddock's Defeat as you will probably ever find, including the lead up and the aftermath of the battle. The events that lead to the encounter were both exciting and informative, while the narrative of the battle itself was riveting. The author does a wonderful job of explaining the consequences and the effect Braddock's Defeat had on both combatants and non-combatants during the Seven Years' War and later on during America's Revolutionary War. Kudos!
