The General History Of The Late War: Containing It's Rise, Progress, And Event, In Europe, Asia, Africa, And America - Softcover
Synopsis
"The General History Of The Late War: Containing It's Rise, Progress, And Event, In Europe, Asia, Africa, And America" by John Entick offers a sweeping, multi-theatre account of the Seven Years’ War, focusing on the campaigns of 1759 and 1760 in Europe and North America. It traces the Minden engagement near Hanover, where Allied forces under Prince Ferdinand confront French columns led by Broglio, and it details the leadership trials, the court-martial of Lord George Sackville, and the interplay of discipline, initiative, and accountability in high command. The narrative then transitions to Britain’s North American strategy, setting Wolfe and Montcalm against the vast theatre of Quebec, Montmorency, and the St. Lawrence region, while recounting sieges, capitulations, and political-military diplomacy. Throughout, Entick blends battle descriptions with primary sources—letters, testimonies, and official records—to illuminate allied coordination, strategic choices, and the human costs of war. The work frames leadership as decisive, contested, and consequential within a broader British political and propagandistic portrayal of wartime aims.
