In 1759 General James Wolfe laid siege to Quebec, capital of the vast French North American empire, on its promontory above the St Lawrence river. The battle was brutal, fought in unfamiliar terrain and against fearsome native warriors allied to the French, but the British eventually triumphed. Dan Snow's gripping narrative of the campaign sets the battle in the wider military, political and human context as the victory that led to Anglo-Saxon cultural supremacy in North America.
