Mediocre, July 13, 2007
This review is from: Wolfe (Hardcover)
Although this book includes extensive and interesting information on the inner workings of the British military of the mid-18th century, it is lacking in information on Wolfe himself. A good book for general information it only rates mediocre as a biography.

Will written book on the General, January 4, 2001
This review is from: Wolfe (Hardcover)
The author has a great understanding of the British army of the 18th century and how one would purchased his rank and then hope for a promotion. Or would work the social system of the army and goverment for a promotion. James Wolfe played the system and was all so a great officer. This is the best book I have read on the James Wolfe. I have tried to read all the books I can find on him. He is one of those outstanding military leaders in history. And yes he was sickly and a mothers boy. Yet he could win battles. Because over his victory at Quebec. We have are nation and our freedom.With the French out of Canada,the Americas did not need the British army and the King any more. You all know what happened to them in the in a few years. Great book on James Wolfe well worth the cost and a good read. I hope the author will keep on writing.
