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 Wolfes men tumbled the Marquis de Montcalms 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 Armys consummate professionals literally beat the Kings enemies before breakfast and in so doing decided the fate of a continent.
