Like Antietam in the USA Civil war, The Glorious First was a crucial battle in a long struggle. The war went on longer, but the strategy was defined from this point. For the next quarter-century, the French Navy would try to break out into the Atlantic, so as to bring in resources from abroad, (N. and S. America.) They would, of course, fail.

This is a very well illustrated general introduction to important battles down the ages, beginning with Lepanto (1571) and ending with WWII. Extensive use is made of contemporary visuals and there are diagrams of the action for each battle. There are some interesting appendices including a chart showing the range of guns over the years.

A well researched and written trade book on Wolfe's campaign from the British perspective with excellent illustrations and maps. With Oliver Warner's penchant for naval history, the story of the Royal Navy's contribution is not given short shrift as is usually the case in most Wolfe/Quebec campaign books.
