The French-Indian War was fought in the forests, open plains, and forts
of the North American frontier. The French army, supported by North
American tribes, was initially more successful than the British Army,
who suffered from lack of experience at woodland fighting. This title
explains the background to the wars and charts the military development
of the British Army and the reforms that led to its eventual
superiority. In both skirmishes in the forests of the frontier and great
battles such as Louisbourg and Quebec, the British proved they had
learnt well from their Native American allies.
