A result of intensive research, this book tells the story of the siege of Louisbourg using the diaries, letters, and journals of soldiers of all ranks on both sides of the conflict. Maps and strategic sketches dating from the siege itself put you at the heart of the action. At the back of the book you will find: -A day by day chronology of events -William Shirley's scheme for attacking Louisbourg -The terms of the surrender of Louisbourg This 79 page, softcover book is ideal for anyone interested in the strategy and tactics of war or the history of Canada.
