Death or Victory by Dan Snow

Death or Victory by Dan Snow

An epic history of the battle of Quebec, the death of Wolfe and the beginnings of Britains empire in North America. Military history at its best.

'Many of us wondered whether Dan Snow could make the transition from fluent TV presenter to serious historianThis hugely impressive work confirms his triumphant arrival on the scene. It is by far the best account yet written of a campaign that helped shape North America, and is a fitting tribute on the 250th anniversary of that “wonderful year” 1759' Richard Holmes

"Dan Snow is perhaps more familiar from television….this, his first book, proves him to be a master military historian in the making. Its grasp of detail is prodigious" Daily Express

"lively and thoughtful…fascinating stuff….one of the book's strengths is its vivid portrayal of the physical backdrop against which the campaign unfolded" Literary Review
