Andre Maurois, a classic of 20th century French literature, author of the famous romanticized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, Victor Hugo, Shelley, and Byron, is considered a true master of psychological prose. However, a significant part of the writer's legacy consists of historical works.
The history of the emergence of the United States of America was of particular interest to the writer, as it is largely unique. A powerful state with an ambiguous reputation was formed on entirely new territory, where the indigenous people could hardly oppose the new settlers. In the struggle of colonists from different European countries, a new type of state emerged. Andre Maurois discusses many "forks" on this path, the activities of the founding fathers, and important connections with the metropolises of the Old World.
