About This Item
London, Batsford first edition - h/c in d.j. In 1757, in a battle in which fewer than 20 Englishmen lost their lives, Clive won a victory whose effects were to be as far-reaching as were those of an equally small-scale affair - the capture of Quebec - two years later. For while Wolfe's defeat of Montcalm meant that the future of Canada lay with the Britis, Plassey was equally decisive as the future of India was concerned. 228 x 155., pp. 167, b/w plates, p.o. inscription (neat - 2 lines ffep), d.j. wear top spine, faded spine, VG/VG.
