Two recent releases from MQUP are on the THE GLOBE 100 list for 2007 –
The Life and Death of General James Wolfe
By Stephen Brumwell
ISBN: 9780773532618, $39.95
Brumwell vindicates Wolfe after a century or two of armchair debunking, and frees him from the fainting-away image of Benjamin West’s famo us painting of his death. If not a great general, he was a great soldier who cracked a tough nut: Quebec. This is an all-too-rare combination of first-rate, innovative scholarship and page-turning readability.
Roger Hall
From Salem to Guantanamo Bay
By Robert Rapley
ISBN: 9780773531864, $34.95
Fears, ignorance and issues may vary through history, but Rapley persuades us that the basic characteristics of witch hunts persist from 16th century Europe through to Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and the Maher Arar affair. His book is masterful, chillingly clinical and gripping and shows how we cannot simply blame ephemeral demagogues, when petty bureaucrats can always be found to do their bidding.
