Fred Anderson (historian)

Fred Anderson (born 1949) is an American historian of early North American history.

Anderson received his B.A. from Colorado State University in 1971 and his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1981. He has taught at Harvard and at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he is currently Professor of History. He has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Charles Warren Center of Harvard university, the Guggenheim Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. He is the author or editor of five books including "Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of Empire in British North America, 1754-1766" (New York: Alfred A. Knopf; London: Faber and Faber, 2000), which won the Mark Lynton History Prize and the 2001 Francis Parkman Prize as best book in American history. Together with Andrew Cayton (Miami University), he has recently published "The Dominion of War: Empire and Liberty in North America, 1500-2000" (New York: Viking; London: Atlantic Books, 2005). His newest book is "The War That Made America: A Short History of the French and Indian War" (Viking).

In late 2006, it was announced that Anderson and Cayton have been assigned the volume on the later colonial period (Volume II: 1672 to 1763) of the newest (and partially published) "Oxford History of the United States".
