Accompanied by maps and illustrations, a slim volume detailing the American attack on Quebec in 1775, the capture of which would give the Americans control of Canada - a disaster for the British.

The subsequent campaign involved a 350-mile trek across uninhabited wilderness, a desperate American attack on the city of Quebec that left one American general dead and another wounded, and a British counterattack that culminated in a brutal naval battle off Valcour Island on Lake Champlain.

In this book Brendan Morrissey details the events of this ferocious struggle whose results would have such momentous consequences at Saratoga in 1777.
