Author Roch Carrier will speak about his book, Montcalm and Wolfe: Two Men Who Forever Changed the Course of Canadian History, at the Pointe-Claire Library, west of Montreal, on Wednesday, March 16, at 7:0 p.m.
The book is a dual biography of the two generals and their famous battle on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City.
In an interview Mr. Carrier gave to the Toronto Star in 2014, he said, “I was fed up with always having the same one-sided version of history; I wanted to see both sides.” He discovered Wolfe was somebody he would like to have lunch or a beer with. “He wasn’t an aristocrat like Montcalm. He was the son of a military man, and he wasn’t expecting favours because of his birth.”
The lecture at the library will be delivered in English. Free admission.
