Good for those who would just like to get a feel for history

While not the best book to use for research, Wolfe and Montcalm is a good read for those who would like to get a general feel for these two gentlemen and the Seven Years War in Canada.There are indeed several factual mistakes in the book (ie: Wolfe was 32, not 31 during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham) but none of these really take away from the overall picture. The book reads more like a novel than a textbook and is relatively short; perfect for those who just want to get a feel for the subject.
