About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
"Riveting, human and thoroughly engaging -- a must-read for anyone hoping to understand Canada." -- Montreal Gazette
Nominated for the J.W. Dafoe Foundation Book Prize, Northern Armageddon presents a new and fascinating interpretation of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, one of the most dramatic and most important events in North American and global history.
Featuring never-before-seen quotations and images obtained through extensive research, this "definitive account of the battle" (Canadian Geographic) sees the campaign, battle and siege through the eyes of American, British, Canadian, French and First Nations participants ranging from Major General James Wolfe to a teenage Huron warrior. The final chapters trace the battle's impact on Canada, the U.S., both countries' native peoples and the world.
"Finally a book about...Armageddon, 1759...MacLeod presents a vivid, blow-by-blow account of that pivotal battle in Canadian history." -- Maclean's
"The best record of the true battle." -- Ottawa Citizen
