Osprey's study of the decisive battle of the French and Indian War
(1754-1763). ‘What a scene!’ wrote Horace Walpole. ‘An army in the
night dragging itself up a precipice by stumps of trees to assault
a town and attack an enemy strongly entrenched and double in
numbers!’ In one short sharp exchange of fire Major-General James
Wolfe’s men tumbled the Marquis de Montcalm’s French army into
bloody ruin. Sir John Fortescue famously described it as the ‘most
perfect volley ever fired on a battlefield’. In this book Stuart
Reid details how one of the British Army’s consummate professionals
literally beat the King’s enemies before breakfast and in so doing
decided the fate of a continent.
