One of the great battle of the world lasted for only ten bloody minutes, but it changed the entire history of North America. At five minutes to ten on September 18th, 1759, some five thousand British Regulars in crimson, Highlanders in colorful tartans and Royal Americans and Rangers faced an equal number of French Regulars in spotless whit coats and powdered hair, rough appearing Canadian Militia and Indians daubed with war paint. The battlefield was a large farm known as the Plains of Abraham just outside the walls of the great French fortress, Quebec. From the inside flap of the hardcover.
