Get a detailed and informed look at four campaigns: the capture of Quebec by the British in 1759, the Dardanelles offensive of 1915-16, the American landings at Inchon in 1950, and the Falkland Islands War of 1982.Foster, Simon is the author of 'Hit the Beach: Amphibious Warfare from the Plains of Abraham to San Carlos Water', published 1995 under ISBN 9781854092687 and ISBN 1854092685.
