Paths of Glory : The Life and Death of General James Wolfe Paperback

Description

In 1759 General James Wolfe was killed at Quebec, winning the battle that decided the fate of North America.

Just thirty-two years old, Wolfe became a popular hero, immortalised in epic paintings.

During the past half century, however, his reputation has waned under assault by critics who see him as a bloodthirsty and priggish mediocrity, famous for one singularly lucky - though crucial - victory.

But was there more to James Wolfe than a celebrated death?

Stephen Brumwell's highly-praised biography seeks to answer that question, deploying penetrating research and vivid prose to boldly reassess a soldier whose short but dramatic life changed the course of world history.
