Reviews for Quebec:The Story of Three Sieges: A Military History
Reviewed in Catholic Herald, July 2009. "...a very readable style...I found the book fascinating. Not necessarily the military strategy, the number of guns and the colour of the uniforms, but the human story of the city that unfolds." Quebec: The Story of Three Sieges, September 2009
