Description
Quebec: The Story of Three Sieges goes beyond the celebrated siege by General James Wolfe in 1759 to chronicle three very different sieges, across two separate conflicts. Focusing on the geographical importance of the city of Quebec and the role it played in the Seven Years War and the American War of Independence, Stephen Manning describes visits to the city of important figures such as Benedict Arnold and George Washington. In the fuller context of the Seven Years War, he explains the enormous importance the British attached to the capture of North America from the French.
