André Maurois, a classic of 20th century French literature and the author of 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 uniquely significant. A powerful state with a controversial reputation was formed in a completely new territory, where the indigenous people could hardly resist the new settlers. In the struggle of colonists from various European countries, a new type of state emerged. André Maurois talks about many "forks" on this path, the activities of the Founding Fathers, and the important connections with the metropolises of the Old World.
