Livre 109 sur 116: Forgotten Battles
Synopsis
In The Battle of Quebec (1759): The Plains of Abraham and the Fall of New France, Jack Whitaker tells the dramatic story of the campaign that decided the fate of French Canada and transformed the balance of power in North America. In the summer of 1759, a massive British expedition sailed up the St. Lawrence River toward Quebec, where French forces under the Marquis de Montcalm prepared to defend the heart of New France. After months of bombardment, failed attacks, and mounting frustration, Major General James Wolfe gambled on a daring nighttime landing beneath the cliffs west of the city, placing his army on the Plains of Abraham.
Drawing on eyewitness accounts, military correspondence, journals, and contemporary records, Whitaker reconstructs the siege and the brief, violent battle that followed. From the Royal Navy's hazardous passage up the St. Lawrence to the secret landing at Anse au Foulon and the disciplined British volleys that broke the French line, he brings to life a campaign shaped by geography, naval power, leadership, endurance, and extraordinary risk.
More than the story of Wolfe and Montcalm, this book explores how the struggle for Quebec brought the long rivalry between Britain and France in North America to its decisive moment. The fall of the city opened the way to the conquest of New France, redrew the imperial map of the continent, and set in motion consequences that would shape the future of Canada, the American colonies, and the wider Atlantic world.
