Reviews for The Winning of Canada
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
2/5
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This short work on Wolfe has its moments. Early on, there is a good discussion of various reasons why England won, or France lost, the battle for Canada. Later, the author has an interesting account of Wolfe's famous victory over Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham outside Quebec. That said, as a general rule the author is verbose, sometimes stilted and occasionally simply boring.
