30 Minute Battles: The Siege of Quebec: A Bold Campaign, A Frozen Fortress, A Turning Point In The Revolution (American Revolutionary War (30 Minute Battles) Book 9)

In the winter of 1775, the American Revolution came closer than many realize to changing the future of North America forever.

Fresh from victories at Fort St Johns and Montreal, American forces pushed deeper into Canada with an ambitious goal: capture Quebec City, destroy British rule in the province, and bring Canada into the Revolution. One army advanced through the St Lawrence Valley under Richard Montgomery. Another, led by Benedict Arnold, fought its way through hundreds of miles of unforgiving wilderness in one of the most extraordinary marches in military history.

Standing in their way was Quebec, a fortress city perched above icy rivers and towering cliffs. Protected by strong walls and defended by the determined Governor Guy Carleton, the city would become the stage for one of the Revolutionary War's most dramatic campaigns.

From desperate wilderness marches and brutal winter sieges to a daring New Year's Eve assault fought through snowstorms and narrow streets, this is the story of a campaign that came within sight of success before collapsing into defeat.
