Siege of Quebec
The 1759 battle for Quebec between the British under General James Wolfe and the French under the Marquis de Montcalm was a watershed in the history of North America. Fought between relatively small numbers of troops on both sides, the summer-long
struggle culminated in the fight just outside the walls of the city,
on the Plains of Abraham. The British victory there spelled the end of French colonial aspirations in Canada. By expelling the French menace, British military presence became unnecessary to the American colonies and therefore helped pave the way to Revolution a few years later.
Wolfe and Montcalm is a novel that brings to life the main characters and events of that historically significant battle.
Simply as a narrative of Western warfare, Mr. Mort's lucid, often beautifully written book is a pleasure to read. But he also poses questions that take his story to a deeper, morally challenging plane - The Wall Street Journal
Mort makes a fascinating read out of every subject he takes up. - The Associated Press

- Minneapolis Star Tribune
In clear, diamond-hard prose, Terry Mort presents a supremely balanced narrative of the conflict between whites and Native Americans, showing how both were at the mercy of vast, impersonal economic and political forces. - Philip Caputo, Author of A Rumor of War
Well researched and well written, Mort reveals a compelling true story...
