Summary:
"The Battle of the Plains of Abraham still stirs up emotions. The surprise landing of British troops on September 13, 1759 combined with the short duration of the battle, the death of both generals Wolfe and Montcalm, the defeat of the French army, and the surrender of Quebec City have remained etched in our memories. The battle is often seen as a decisive turning point for New France. This book, however, places it in the broader context of the Seven Year' War, a war with worlwide consequences. Taking the most recent historical research into account, 'The Plains of Abraham' provides readers with a clear narrative encompasing both the fact and the context in which the first confrontations in North America ignited and drew the kingdoms of France and Great Britain into war. Readers will relive the events that took place in 1759 and 1760, from the siege of Quebec City to the capitulation of Monteal. They will also learn about the legacy of that period of confrontations and transition. The vast collection of images, maps and table further enhances the reader's experience of the exceptional and world-shaking events that those battles epitomize."--Back cover.
