In 1755, New England troops embarked on a "great and noble scheme" to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality - to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England - had been one of the founding values of Acadia. John Mack Faragher draws on original research to weave 150 years of history into a gripping narrative of both the civilization of Acadia and the British plot to destroy it.

Great story, problematic narration

This is a fascinating book but I have to agree with a previous review that the awkward pronunciation of the abundant French names was painful to the ears. Otherwise the narration was decent, but surely in all of bilingual Canada there is a reader who can pronounce both languages.
