Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 18th-century scathing critique of Brigadier General James Wolfe, the architect of Britain's victory in the Battle of Quebec. The book's author, an anonymous contemporary, takes aim at what he sees as Wolfe's hubris and incompetence, arguing that he recklessly endangered the lives of his men. The book presents a revisionist view of the Battle of Quebec, one that challenges the official narrative and offers a fresh perspective on Wolfe's legacy. It delves into the themes of honor, duty, and the human cost of war, offering valuable insights into the nature of military leadership and the sacrifices made by those who fight in wars. Through an examination of this historical event, the book forces readers to reflect upon the broader questions of military ethics, the pursuit of glory, and the complexities of human nature.
