From the author's Acknowledgments: "My inclination after writing1812: The War That Forged a Nation was to look westward—both geographically and chronologically. Yet as I pondered my next project, I found myself drawn to events a generationbefore the American Revolution with the same fascination that I had just written about events a generation after it. Here was a period that decided the fate of the entire North American continent—not just between England and France, but among the Spanish and Native Americans as well. My goal became to present the triumphs and tragedies of this struggle; place them in the context of France and Great Britain's greater global conflict; essentially the first truly world war; and emphasize that from seeds of discord sown here grew the American Revolution."
The book includes black and white maps, portraits, and photos of paintings.
At the end of the book is a "P.S." section that has "About the Author" and "About the Book" sections. In the "About the Book" section, articles include "Women in the French and Indian War," "More About the Native American 'What If'," "Why Didn't Quebec Become the Fourteenth Colony?," "...And Don't Forget the Ongoing 250th Anniversary Commemoration." Finally, the "Web Detective" section provides several websites that give more information about the events of the French and Indian War.
